A new study reveals the role the locus coeruleus plays in learning, behavior, and mental health.
Researchers have developed a new method that vastly improves the imaging of the structures of neural connections using standard confocal microscopes.
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.
Thalamic inputs into superficial layers of the cerebral cortex are both rare and weak, yet surprisingly diverse in their distribution patterns. However, they are reliable and efficient representatives of information.
Study identifies a key role locus coeruleus neurons play in attentional control.
The brain naturally implements principles of calculus and integrated learned rules of life with sensory information to guide motor plans and actions.
A new statistical model lays groundwork for understanding how ketamine induces an anesthetic response, steps to monitor unconscious patients, and provides new information about brain activity while unconscious.
Just one protein situated on the synapse can profoundly alter how some neurons communicate and implement plasticity.
