A novel, custom-built microscope allowed researchers to track the activity of a single neuron across the entire visual cortex.
Glutamate binds to the subunits of its receptor only in specific patterns. The findings upend previous belief that each subunit binds glutamate independently and points to a new level of complexity in neurotransmission and drug response.
Depression symptoms in teens often present themselves differently from those in adults with clinical depression.
A new study sheds light on the movement of neurons throughout the brain during fetal development. Researchers also found the two hemispheres of the human cortex separated earlier in development than previously thought.
Mutations in the IL18RAP gene reduce inflammation and appears to protect the brain against ALS.
Researchers have released a new open-access 3D map of the cellular structure of two distinct parts of the metathalamus.
Researchers reveal how patients who received fecal transplants showed improvements in bipolar symptoms, as well as reductions in anxiety and ADHD behaviors. Fecal transplants may help in the treatment of a number of mental health disorders.
AI technology helped map out diverse and subjective psychedelic experiences to different brain regions.
Despite common thought, not all people with dark triad disorders are void of empathy. Some people with dark triad disorders experience above-average empathetic capabilities. Researchers shed light on "dark empaths" and empathy deficits in those with dark triad disorders.
When cerebral amyloid angiopathy is present, the brain diverts most of the waste-removing fluid away from the glymphatic system.
Researchers explore what happens in the brain in the moments before death and question whether our lives flash before our eyes during the final seconds of life.
Using an advanced microscopy technique, researchers discovered the role adhesion molecules play in guiding neurons into their correct location.
