Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, using interspecies blastocyst complementation to study ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected networks. For the brain to function reliably, there must be a fine balance ...

A finding by a McGill-led team of neuroscientists could open doors to new treatments for a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders attributed to dysfunctions in specific dopamine pathways. For ...

This image represents the opposite effects the basal forebrain has on feeding behavior. It either induces obesity or anorexia depending on the level of activity. If the basal forebrain is inactive, ...

New studies stemming from the Armamentarium consortium outline findings that advance tools based on Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors. An announcement about the work explains how an AAV "acts like ...

Adam Nelson, a principal investigator in the UW Department of Zoology and Physiology, led a study that used mice to show that social hierarchy involves status-dependent behavioral interactions that ...

To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...

‘I’m not gonna do this again’, we often say when faced with negative feedback, adverse effects, or disappointing outcomes. Thus, we attempt to learn from such negative experiences. This principle is ...
