When parts of the nervous system start to break down—or get broken—the consequences for human health can be staggering. Can ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore ...

A new animal study has found that prenatal exposure to bisphenol A — a chemical commonly found in plastics — can lead to ...

This is a valuable study that explores the role of the conserved transcription factor POU4-2 in the maintenance, regeneration, and function of planarian mechanosensory neurons. The authors provide ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals ...

New research reveals this inconsistency may be due to a feedback loop between the thalamus and somatosensory cortex, where thalamic input subtly changes how sensitive cortical neurons are to incoming ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

This study provides novel and convincing evidence that both dopamine D1 and D2 expressing neurons in the nucleus accumbens shell are crucial for the expression of cue-guided action selection, a ...
