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.
SCOUT is a newly developed pipeline for clearing, labeling, 3D imaging, and analyzing cerebral organoids.
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.
A dynamic interplay of different brainwave frequencies, not dedicated networks, governs how the brain acts to a novel surprise and downplays predictable stimuli.
Study identifies a key role locus coeruleus neurons play in attentional control.
The Alzheimer's risk gene ApoE4 hampers the process of endocytosis in astrocytes.
Structural and functional coupling in visual areas of the mouse brain can be detected at sub-cellular resolution in vitro.
Study provides new insight into how brain waves control the flow of information through the cortex.
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.
