A new study reveals a unique population of corticotropin releasing factor neurons in female mice that may mediate differences in stress response.... Read More...
A new MRI study reveals those who get to sleep and wake up late have lower resting brain connectivity in regions associated with the maintenance of consciousness. Researchers report the reduced brain connectivity is linked to poorer attention, slower reactions and increased daytime sleepiness.... Read More...
A new study reports genetic variants that are critical for the development of the brain during fetal development are also frequently found in psychiatric disorders.... Read More...
A new study reports brain connectivity appears to be dictated by the spatial architecture of neurons, rather than the cell type-specific cues. ... Read More...
Researchers have developed a new technique that helps identify the functional properties of individual synapses that link the two hemispheres of the brain.... Read More...
A new study reports amyloid precursor proteins modulate neural signal transmission by binding to a specific receptor. Researchers say modulating the receptor could help treat Alzheimer's disease.... Read More...
Using deep learning technology in combination with neuroimaging data, researchers were able to accurately predict who would abstain from cocaine during treatment for addiction. ... Read More...
A new study reports the neurons that focus on coarse visual details could change to prefer finer details under different conditions. The findings shed new light on the neural mechanism that helps shape our perception of the world.... Read More...
Researchers report there are two distinct ways in which we make temporal predictions, and these rely on different parts of the brain. The findings offer a new perspective on how humans calculate when to make a move. ... Read More...
