Rodent studies reveal how general anesthesia dampens high-frequency brain activity by weakening synapses. Read More
Methylphenidate may boost norepinephrine levels in the prefrontal cortex, which in turn regulates dopaminergic neurons firing in the striatum, when a reward is delivered. The study sheds new light on how medications for ADHD affect the reward system in the brain. Read More
Researchers have pinpointed how brain activity changes in mouse models of Parkinson's disease, providing clues as to what may drive symptoms of the disease in humans. Read More
Using neuroimaging technology, researchers have identified three different subtypes of depressive disorder, including one that seems to be untreatable by common SSRI antidepressants. Read More
Computational neurosciences have created a virtual version of Purkinje cells in the brain's cerebellum. The virtual cells may shed light on how Purkinje cells work. Read More
