Neuroscientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a brain cell surface molecule shapes the way certain neurons behave. The research, published October 2 in Nature, reveals how a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Brain function has traditionally been interpreted within a neuron-centric framework; however, this view has shifted toward a model of neuron-glia ...

In a highly novel study published in Current Biology, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the National Institute of Mental Health, or NIMH, describe how two major neuronal ...

Placebo effects, in which patients experience relief without therapeutic treatment, increasingly have been considered as potentially powerful clinical treatments for ailments such as depression and ...

Duke Health researchers found a relationship between immune response and neurological behavior after studying mice with a specific gene mutation, which exhibited signs of ADHD in response to an ...

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 ...

New research from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) reveals how two different parts of the brain's memory ...

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 ...
