The screen worked, flagging expected cancer genes. But it also kept returning something that seemed impossible: genes for synapses, glutamate receptors, and neural signaling pathways. “We absolutely ...
Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published ...
The brain’s memory center may begin life more like a crowded web than an empty canvas. Researchers discovered that early ...
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...
Adolescence is widely thought to be a time when the brain trims away excess neural connections, refining circuits through synaptic pruning. New research now suggests this view may be incomplete.
More than 50 million adults in the United States live with chronic pain, according to the Centers for Disease Control and ...
The approach could expand understanding not only of the layout of elaborate networks in the brain, but also how the brain functions, what happens when there is dysfunction and how neurodegenerative ...
Comingling RNA barcodes, each correlating to a neuron, indicate where neurons connect in the brain, letting researchers map neural connection with speed, scale and resolution. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By ...
New research has discovered that a neural circuit may explain procrastination. Scientists were able to disrupt this connection using a drug. The study, led by Ken-ichi Amemori, a neuroscientist at ...
A representative MRI tractography image of the first era of the human brain. This image is representative of the general pattern seen across the brains in the study during the first era of neural ...
A new study on the detriments of too many synaptic connections in the mouse cerebellum by neuroscientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis corroborates previous human ...
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...
