Scientists have pinpointed a brain circuit that, when activated, reduces anxiety without impairing memory. Using ...

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have identified in a preclinical model a specific brain circuit whose inhibition appears ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...

The entorhinal cortex (EC) plays a pivotal role in memory function and spatial navigation, connecting the hippocampus with the neocortex. The EC integrates a wide range of cortical and subcortical ...

Bridging the Gap: How Signals Travel Within Neurons The nucleus where the genes that modify neuron function are controlled is a long distance away from where neurons receive input from their synapses, ...

A new collaboration between Northwestern University and Georgia Tech has unlocked new potential for the field by creating a novel high-performance organic electrochemical neuron that responds within ...

A screen for proteins that interact with β2-syntrophin led to the isolation of MAST205 (microtubule-associated serine/threonine kinase-205 kD) and a newly identified homologue, SAST (syntrophin ...
