Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers tracked thousands of neural connections to identify 28 distinct types of dopamine neurons ...
A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an ...
A complete wiring diagram of all the connections between the fruit fly brain and "spinal cord" provides translational ...
Could the initiation of a simple walking exercise program help older adults to reverse declines in key brain regions? A new study led by University of Maryland School of Public Health researchers adds ...
A team of neuroscientists at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, has been able to map single neural connections over long distances in the brain. "These are the first measurements of ...
A new study uses optogenetics to induce localized sleep in awake mice, reversing memory loss from sleep deprivation.
According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, an estimated 10 million people around the world live with Parkinson’s disease — a neurological condition that affects a person’s ability to move. Parkinson’s ...
Understanding the brain's functional architecture is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. The connections between neurons ultimately dictate how information is processed, transmitted, stored, and ...
When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI and Weill Cornell Medicine has revealed how two cellular switches, Rab4 and ...
