A new study of the genetic factors associated with ASD draws attention to the impact autism can have on motor skills and cognitive function.
Researchers have created a 3D reconstruction of a marmoset brain that could help offer insights into human neural connectivity.
Chandelier cells have an unusual direct method of communication. Unlike other neurons, chandelier cells connect directly to the part of a target neuron that initiates a spike.
Study reveals the globus pallidus plays a critical role in fear processing.
Testing multiple computational models of the nervous system, researchers discover that just because a model can make accurate predictions about data, this doesn't always translate into the underlying logic of the biological system it represents.
Researchers explain how odor habituation occurs. Familiar smells can be ignored in favor of new odors that are faint, but important.
Researchers have identified a pre-programmed neural circuit in the basolateral amygdala of mice that processes both positive and negative stimuli.
Just like humans, mice fidget more while deep in thought.
Microscopy study sheds light on the function of two calcium homeostasis modulators.
The olfactory experience is subjective. The perception of odors depends on the context and prior experience of an individual.
Study investigates whether overactive immune cells that produce neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are responsible for more severe and lethal cases of coronavirus.
