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 ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a previously uncharacterized neural circuit that directly links ...

Neurodegenerative disorders are pressing global health challenges that stem from progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss. While the central roles of ...

Overactive immune response disrupts brain function before neuronal damage occurs. Tracking urea levels and nerve cell markers ...

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 ...

The ideas presented in George Lakoff and Srini Narayanan's The Neural Mind are fascinating, but the writing is far less ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
