Fixing the balance of a single brain circuit erased anxiety and social deficits in mice, revealing a powerful new target for ...

For decades, Alzheimer’s disease has been framed as a one‑way slide, with treatments aiming only to slow the descent. Now a ...

This important work advances our understanding of the role of kisspeptin neurons in regulating the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge in females. The evidence demonstrating increased neuronal activity in ...

For most people, the loss of a sense such as sight is devastating, not only for intensifying vulnerability, but for ...

What makes someone a "morning lark" or a "night owl?" Why does jet lag hit us so hard, and why do some people struggle each ...

This important study provides a detailed analysis of the transcriptional landscape of the mouse hippocampus in the context of various physiological states. The main conclusions have solid support: ...

Researchers have shown that glioblastoma can take over the skull marrow to dissolve bone and feed its own growth, suggesting a systemic, not localized, illness.

Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other cells (i.e., dendrites) is a long-standing objective of neuroscience ...

An international team of researchers led by the Francis Crick Institute, working with the Paul Scherrer Institute, have developed a new imaging protocol to capture mouse brain cell connections in ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

At the turn of the 20th century, Korbinian Brodmann released one of the most consequential brain maps ever. By studying the humps, grooves, layers, and cells of the cortex—the outermost layer of the ...

Using a ChatGPT-like AI model, scientists have created a new map of the mouse brain that captures previously uncharted areas of the organ in unprecedented detail. The map, published Tuesday (Oct. 7) ...
