A study on mice identified a group of neurons in the central amygdala region of the brain that display a unique pattern of ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

Developmental electrophysiological adaptations and heat-sensitive proteins, such as TRPV3, in cortical excitatory neurons help maintain stable activity levels when brain temperature rises by 2–3°C ...

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no cure and limited treatment options.

Mentor: Dawn M. Blitz, Ph.D. Central pattern generators (CPGs) are circuits that generate rhythmic motor outputs which govern rhythmic behaviors. CPG core rhythmic activity is based on intrinsic and ...
