Neural circuits in the brain are highly sophisticated biological systems, orchestrating ultra-fast, parallel computations ...

Brain stimulation might sound like some Frankensteinian demonstration from a Victorian science fair. But in reality, it is a contemporary technique making a huge impact in neuroscience by addressing a ...

How do the circuits of the human brain work—and what happens when they are disrupted? To investigate these questions, researchers at the Eye Clinic of the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the ...

Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches, uncovering new details about how the brain organises learned vocalisations such as birdsong.

Why do we sometimes keep eating even when we're full and other times turn down food completely? Why do we crave salty things ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The research, led by ...

In the brain, molecular information is transmitted between cells through neural circuits. Synapses establish connections between the pathways that run from one area to another, allowing the most ...

Fluoxetine during auditory development drove 91 brainstem gene changes, reduced neural circuit stability, and left lasting ...

Netrin1 is a protein that was first characterized for its axon guidance activities during embryonic development. The netrin family has been shown to play many critical roles in developmental and ...
