A new study reveals a possible mechanism for the relationship between seizures early in life and later diagnosis of ASD.
A new study reports sensory stimulation during the first two weeks of life is critical for establishing brain networks that help map sensation.
A new study reinforces theory about how neurons process information.
Researchers have been able to obtain images of the NMDA receptor in different states.
Familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 (FHM2) causes a malfunction of astrocytes in the cingulate cortex. Manipulating astrocytes in the cingulate cortex reversed the disfunction, preventing an increase in migraine-like symptoms in mice carrying the FHM2 defect.
Researchers report on how astrocytes help control the strength of connections between neurons.
A new study looks at the role glutamate plays in neuromuscular development.
According to a new study, changing dopamine levels is sufficient to alter upcoming decisions.
Dysfunctional NMDA brain receptors appear to be responsible for common hearing problems in people with schizophrenia, researchers report.
A new study maps out the network of circuits that produce dopamine when a rat is exposed to cocaine.
Researchers report animals with previous conditioned experiences form memories using different plasticity mechanisms to naive subjects, even if they are about to learn the same thing.
Ketamine alters neural activity in the cerebral cortex, silencing normally active neurons and activating neurons that are normally inactive. The ketamine activity-induced "switch" in brain regions associated with depression may help explain its treatment effects.
