Researchers found specific neurons in the striosome that help mice learn to avoid negative experiences.
BARseq2 is a new technique that allows researchers to trace thousands of brain circuits simultaneously.
A new Cell study reports on the molecular-genetic basis of neural cell types. The study reports families of gene encoding proteins involved in neurotransmission define neurons by determining which cells they connect to and how they communicate.
Researchers have identified a specific circuit in the brain's central amygdala that raises anxiety levels. The study could pave the way for the development of new treatments for anxiety disorders.
Study reveals the role the mouse gene Ophn1 plays in helpless behaviors and identified three methods in which to reverse the effect.
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 have identified a neural circuit responsible for inducing insomnia associated with stress. The same neural circuit also induces changes in the immune system.
Different classes of neurons in the ventral pallidum control positive and negative motivations, sending opposing signals along a shared motivation-processing circuit.
Researchers report conventional understanding of fear learning may be incorrect. Contrary to popular thought, the central amygdala, and not the lateral amygdala may be the seat of aversive learning.
Abnormal activation of parvalbumin neurons in the young mouse auditory cortex manifests as a result of maternal neglect.
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.
Researchers track the connectivity patterns of chandelier cells.
