Research in brain function and neural circuit is exceptionally significant for diagnosing, regulating, and treating brain diseases, and it is still a challenge in brain science. The combination of ...

map neural circuit connectivity using viral tracing approaches, (2) monitor circuit function using methods such as electrophysiology and genetically encoded indicator/voltage/sensor imaging, and (3) ...

Neuronal alpha oscillations in the range of 10 Hz are neural waves that reduce processing in certain brain regions to provide resources for upcoming information. Alpha oscillations can be easily ...

New research shows that early life stress disrupts dopamine signaling, altering social motivation and behavior.

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

The study is first to show that a neurotechnology can be engineered to reverse degeneration of neural circuits and rescue cell function in a human neurodegenerative disease. "To counteract ...

A newly identified part of a brain circuit mixes sensory information, memories, and emotions to tell whether things are familiar or new, and important or just 'background noise.' ...
