A new study in mice finds microglia help neurons grow synapses critical for cognitive function.
BARseq2 is a new technique that allows researchers to trace thousands of brain circuits simultaneously.
Study reveals the role the mouse gene Ophn1 plays in helpless behaviors and identified three methods in which to reverse the effect.
Too many chandelier cells in the binocular region of the brain impair visual depth perception.
A novel AI system recognizes a neuron in microscope images of the brain more efficiently than any previous approach. The system improves current methods of tracing neurons and their connections, which can help improve brain mapping.
Researchers found specific neurons in the striosome that help mice learn to avoid negative experiences.
Microglia, immune cells that protect the brain from infection and inflammation, also appear to play a critical role in sculpting circuits in the developing brain.
Researchers have identified a neural circuit responsible for inducing insomnia associated with stress. The same neural circuit also induces changes in the immune system.
Abnormal activation of parvalbumin neurons in the young mouse auditory cortex manifests as a result of maternal neglect.
Different classes of neurons in the ventral pallidum control positive and negative motivations, sending opposing signals along a shared motivation-processing circuit.
When learning a new task, brain activities alter over time as mice transition to an expert from a novice. The changes are reflected in neural networks and neural activity. As the animal's knowledge grows, neural networks become more focused.
A new process for classifying neurons in the brains of mice has been outlined by researchers from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The platform pairs microscopy with genetic labeling at single neuron resolution, allowing researchers to reconstruct the brain, by providing information on every neuronal type's location.
