In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

In a constantly changing world, animals, including humans, need to quickly adapt to their environment and learn to make decisions that lead to the best possible outcomes. In most cases, this type of ...

Researchers at Universidad Miguel Hernandez have identified a specific population of neurons in the central lateral amygdala ...

As knowledge of the development of neuronal pathways continues to grow, it also elucidates potential treatment modalities for neuronal degenerative diseases and injuries. Molecular and genetic ...

While E. Josie Clowney would never suggest that neuroscience is simple, a new study by her team at the University of Michigan could drastically reduce complexity in future studies. Their work focused ...

The research details how neurons and glial cells utilize leucine-derived acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) rather than canonical ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...

Neuronal pathways originating from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of the brain participate in different adaptive behaviors, but which pathways are used for distinct adaptive strategies remains unclear ...

Overview of the study. Researchers investigated the neural basis of how animals adapt to new environments and situations. To do this, they introduced a chemical ON/OFF switch in the orbitofrontal ...
