Huntington's disease may progress to advanced stages as a result of degradation of the cells' health maintenance system than due to the increased disease pathology itself. Read More
In visual working memory, the brain immediately transfers the memory of object shifts by re-encoding the memory among neurons in the opposite brain hemisphere. Read More
New studies are set to explore how gene expression alters the brain's response to drug abuse, and to screen for genes that could help brain cells withstand Parkinson's disease. Read More
SCOUT is a newly developed pipeline for clearing, labeling, 3D imaging, and analyzing cerebral organoids. Read More
Anterior cingulate cortex neurons project connections to the superior colliculus. The superior colliculus carries out reflexive movements. The study finds the purpose of the ACC neurons connections to the SC is to over-rider the SC when executive control is essential. Read More
A dynamic interplay of different brainwave frequencies, not dedicated networks, governs how the brain acts to a novel surprise and downplays predictable stimuli. Read More
Study identifies a key role locus coeruleus neurons play in attentional control. Read More
The Alzheimer's risk gene ApoE4 hampers the process of endocytosis in astrocytes. Read More
Structural and functional coupling in visual areas of the mouse brain can be detected at sub-cellular resolution in vitro. Read More
Study provides new insight into how brain waves control the flow of information through the cortex. Read More
In both human cell and mouse models of Huntington's disease, RNA from mitochondria was misplaced within spiny projection neurons. The stray RNAs, which looked different to cells than RNA derived from the cell nucleus, trigger an immune reaction that can lead to striatal cell type vulnerability. Read More
