Every day, our brain takes countless fleeting experiences - from walks on the beach to presentations at work - and transforms ...

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 ...

Specific neurons in the brain's zona incerta (ZI) play a crucial role in the early social interactions of an infant and its ...

In this review, we summarize recent advances in our understanding of the activity-dependent mechanisms underlying dendrite patterning and postnatal circuit reorganization based on studies using ...

Q&A Pleasure or Pain? He Maps the Neural Circuits That Decide. The work of the neuroscientist Ishmail Abdus-Saboor has opened up a world of insights into precisely how much pleasure and pain animals ...

Scientists have revealed a new understanding of the impact of physical movements on sensory experiences, questioning traditional views in the field of neuroscience. The brain is widely considered the ...

The trans-agency effort is intended to arm researchers with revolutionary tools to fundamentally understand the neural circuits that underlie the healthy and diseased brain. The UC San Diego ...

It really matters where these synapses come from and where they are going to." In the current study, Barth and her colleagues examined how a specific neural circuit — a series of connected neurons ...

A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with the EPFL, has revealed how motivation alters the neural circuits responsible for sensory perception preceding decision-making in ...

UC San Diego and the Salk Institute have submitted a patent application on the neural probe technology described in this work. Paper: “ Electro-optical mechanically flexible coaxial microprobes for ...

Researchers are studying the brain circuits affected by depression and anxiety, opening the way for more effective treatments.
