Researchers have been able to map odor molecules based on how often they occur in nature with the help of mathematical modeling. Read More
Researchers say the randomness of the piriform cortex plays a critical role when it comes to distinguishing between similar odors. Read More
Researchers shed light on how behavior is organized in the brain. The study reports learned behaviors are organized in a hierarchy of multiple levels of control. Read More
Cells from older people have impaired mitochondria, reducing energy production. The findings could open the door to discovering a clear link between mitochondrial dysfunction and age related neurodegeneration, researchers report. Read More
Using stem cells to generate a partial model of the brain, researchers discover how communication between neurons is altered in those with Schizophrenia. Read More
Researchers have mapped the relationship of two types of neurons implicated in psychiatric and movement disorder. The findings could lead to new treatments for a range of disorders from depression to Parkinson's disease. Read More
Researchers use gene editing to generate aggressive glioblastoma multiforme brain tumors in the lab. The model, researchers say, could be used to track the progression of tumors and develop personalized therapies for patients. Read More
