Breathing difficulties associated with Pitt Hopkins syndrome, a rare form of autism, have been linked to a specific set of neurons in the brainstem.
Neurons in the brainstem suppress unwanted movements during REM sleep in mice, a new study reports.
GLP1R neurons play a critical role in initiating the nausea response.
A network linking the medial prefrontal cortex and brainstem plays a critical role in the development of compulsive drinking disorder and is a driver for its expression.
Researchers identified 48 common genetic variants that appear to play a role in the size of the brainstem and other subcortical structures. Forty of the variants were novel. The findings also revealed 199 genes related to the variants which regulate brain development and susceptibility to neurological disorders.
University of Copenhagen researchers have identified two areas of the midbrain that appear to play specific roles in the start, speed and content of dependent selection of locomotion in mice.
A new study reveals Parkinson's patients have more copies of mitochondrial DNA in the brain stem, leading to increased cell death within that area.
Researchers report the auditory system may be shaped by exposure to different auditory environments.
Study reports reduced gray matter in areas of the brain associated with mood and cognition in children with obstructive sleep apnea.
Noticeable communication problems may be an early sign of mild cognitive impairment, a new study reports.
Researchers have identified a correlation between brain stem volume and aggressive behavior in children with autism. Smaller brain stems appear to be associated with an increased likelihood of aggression.
A new mouse study reveals blood vessels play a vital role in stem cell reproduction during brain development.
