American researchers have successfully developed a type of map that can visualize approximately 1,000 neurons in the brains ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, allowing researchers to map the ...

Schizophrenia, a psychiatric disorder that affects how a person feels, thinks, and behaves, affects roughly 1% of the ...

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, ...

Researchers found that neurons can use fat, not just sugar, to power the brain. When a protein called DDHD2 fails, this process breaks down and leads to serious brain problems. Scientists were able to ...

Sobriety didn’t restore the old version of me; it allowed me to build a new one from the driftwood of the past,” ...

Exercise strengthens both the body and the mind, and researchers are uncovering the molecular messengers that make the ...

The authors used a Bayesian modeling framework to fit behavior and serotonin neuron activity to reward history across multiple timescales. A key goal was to distinguish value coding from other ...

This study offers a valuable advance for neuroscience by extending a visualization tool that enables intuitive assessment of how dendritic and synaptic currents shape the output of neurons. The ...

A comprehensive analysis has found no scientific evidence supporting the hypothesis that the gut microbiome causally ...

An international research team, led by Shinghua Ding at the University of Missouri, has identified a previously unknown genetic disease that affects movement and muscle control. The disease—called ...
