Neurons in the midbrain receive strong, specific synaptic input from retinal ganglion cells, but only from a small number of the sensory neurons.
Researchers report the optimal target for brain stimulation depends on the type of dystonia being treated.
A new study identifies a neural network that appears to be responsible for the development of tics and tic disorders. Researchers say deep brain stimulation applied to this network helps alleviate symptoms of tics.
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19 enters the brain via neurons in the olfactory mucosa.
Targeted deep brain stimulation may help treat obsessive-compulsive disorder.
M2 macrophages can produce various endogenous opioids, such as endorphins, enkephalin, and dynorphin, which activate opioid receptors at the site of inflammation.
Asking participants to bungee jump helps researchers measure Bereitschaftspotential, or readiness potential, outside the lab setting. Researchers say their findings will help in the development of BCIs to assist quadriplegics to control neuroprosthetics.
Researchers have discovered how the body is able to initiate repair mechanisms which can limit the extent of damage to the myelin sheath. The findings could help with the development of new therapies for multiple sclerosis.
A new study reports environmentally induced epigenetic alterations have a greater impact on intelligence that previously believed.
Researchers report the adverse cognitive effects associated with DBS in Parkinson's patients are linked to a different neural pathway than the one responsible for the motor effects generated by the treatment.
A new study reports dTMS can help to reduce fatigue symptoms in those with multiple sclerosis.
A new study in Charité reveals those who grew up in the former Western states of Germany between 1949 and 1990, tend to be more narcissistic than those who were raised in the East. The study raises the question of whether narcissism is associated with Western culture.
