Electrical stimulation of the hippocampus activates the same receptor complexes as memory recall and learning, a new study reveals.
A new study reveals a previously unknown mechanism which establishes polarity in developing neurons. The findings could help to develop new therapies for spinal injuries and neurodegenerative diseases.
A new study shows a complex set of overlapping neuronal circuits works in concert to drive temperature preferences in the fruit fly Drosophila by affecting a single target, a heavy bundle of neurons within the fly brain known as the mushroom body. These nerve bundles play critical roles in learning and memory.
