Research on brain–machine interfaces has been ongoing for at least a decade. During this period, simultaneous recordings of the extracellular electrical activity of hundreds of individual ...

This partnership facilitates efficient and high-quality analysis of neural circuit structures and functions, electrophysiological marker discovery, and drug screening. Electrophysiology recordings ...

Our current research focuses on two sets of experiments related to neural encoding of voice pitch and speech spectra at the level of the auditory brainstem (using the frequency following response) and ...

Neural reflex circuits regulate cytokine release to prevent potentially damaging inflammation and maintain homeostasis. In the inflammatory reflex, sensory input elicited by infection or injury ...

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

The Yong Xu lab is interested in novel neural circuits, neurotransmitters and intra-neuronal signals that are critical for coordinated control of metabolism and behavior. We generate unique mouse ...

New research suggests that it could be possible to separate treatment from hallucinations when developing new drugs based on psychedelics. The anti-anxiety and hallucination-inducing qualities of ...
