Researchers have uncovered a shared brain cell breakdown mechanism behind Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, revealing how ...

For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside ...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo and Juntendo University have identified a previously unknown structural domain in ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, leading to inflammation and damage. This ...

For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside cells. But how these ...

Perhaps one of the most recognizable reflexes is the withdrawal reflex. Imagine accidentally touching a hot stove. Your immediate reaction is to pull your hand away quickly. This is a prime example of ...

Dopamine is often called the brain's "motivation molecule," but for me, it represents something deeper, a window into how ...

The brain does not need its sophisticated cortex to interpret the visual world. A new study published in PLOS Biology ...

In the lingo of the field, dopamine-producing cells are measuring a reward prediction error — the difference between the ...

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will honor seven early career researchers whose awards will be presented during Neuroscience 2025, SfN's annual meeting.

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 ...

Discover how wearable technology is changing the understanding of MS through real-time brain function tracking and analysis ...
