Researchers have optimized optical and electrophysiological recordings from single neurons to study axonal excitability with unprecedented detail. Read More
The retrosplenial cortex plays a vital role in value-based decision making. Read More
A large scale SPECT imaging study reveals women's brains are significantly more active in more regions than males, including the prefronal cortex and limbic areas. Visual and areas associated with coordination were more active in males, researchers noted. Read More
New findings dispute the popular cerebellar deficit hypothesis of dyslexia. Researchers report the cerebellum is not engaged during reading in typical readers and does not differ in children with dyslexia. Read More
Mouse study pinpoints the precise location in the brain where distracting stimuli are blocked, allowing for concentration on specific tasks. The findings could have implications for the treatment of ADHD and schizophrenia. Read More
Researchers report the brain conserves energy by forgetting unnecessary information learned. Read More
New research unravels how the feedback system between climbing fibers and Purkinje cells works. Read More
Acute inflammation of the anterior cerebellum resulted in depression-like symptoms in rodent models. Suppressing microglia helped reduce hyperexcitability and symptoms of depression. Read More
Researchers discover a distinct small cluster of cells deep within the brain which react within milliseconds to readjust movements and help maintain balance. Read More
A new study describes the epigenetic mechanisms that underlie the development of the cerebellum. Read More
An important new study reveals breast feeding not only helps pass immunity onto infants and reduces the risk of obesity, it can also help preterm babies develop more robust white matter. Read More
