Researchers have identified a population of neurons in the brainstem which are essential for mice to stop their locomotion.
An examination of brainstems from children and young adults constantly exposed to air pollution reveals markers of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and motor neuron disease. Findings suggest air pollution poses risks of serious neurological damage from an early age.
A small cluster of neurons in the brainstem regulates tempo and coordinates vocalization with breathing.
Researchers report activating a pathway between the amygdala and brain stem helps to relieve pain and reduce defensive behaviors in rat models.
A new study reports that contrary behavior of blood vessels in the retrotrapezoid nucleus help keep us breathing.
Study reveals how gene control mechanisms determine the identity of neurons in the embryonic brainstem. A failure in differentiation in developing brainstem neurons can lead to behavioral abnormalities, including ADHD.
Study identifies a key role the brainstem neurotensinergic neurons play in non-REM sleep regulation.
Researchers identify 'sleep node' in the mammalian brain. Its activity appears to be necessary and sufficient to produce deep sleep.
Researchers believe they may have pinpointed an area of the brain that plays a role in maintaining human consciousness.
Researchers have traced the neural connections that help us to curb our impulses.
Neural networks that are directly responsible for the coordination of walking movements are located in the spinal cord. A specific group of neurons in the brainstem signal to the spinal cord and control direction.
Researchers introduce a new concept of how the brain is involved in respiration.
