To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

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 ...

University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and Yale University School of Medicine, along with other collaborators, report that lung adenocarcinoma can engage nerve pathways that link the ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those ...

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 ...
