Researchers discover a potential explanation for some of the symptoms of schizophrenia by tracking eye movements while patients played a simple video game.
New research shows a predictive brain signal could explain why we "hear" our inner voice, even in the absence of actual sound.
Researchers discover a link between the orbitofrontal cortex and learning and behavioral deficits in mice with a gene associated with mental illness.
Researchers discover a pathway by which the brain controls a molecule critical to forming long-term memories, and is connected to some psychiatric disorders.
Researchers demonstrate how the transmission of sensory information from one cortical area to connected areas depends on the specific task at hand and goal directed behavior.
Mutations of the Dact1 gene, which leads to major birth defects, may also cause subtle disruptions in the brain which contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders, according to new research.
A new study which developed a system designed to observe different strains of mice living together in a 'Big Brother house' pen and with no human intervention, provides some unusual insights into social behavior which enables social hierarchy.
Researchers have discovered a neural pathway in which the brain controls a specific molecule, connected to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia which is also critical to the formation of long term memory.
Researchers identify the sleep mechanism which enables the brain to consolidate emotional memory. Additionally, they discovered a popular sleep medication heightens the response to and recollection of negative memories.
Researchers uncover clues about the biochemical pathway in the brain which could expand treatment options for schizophrenia.
A new method for obtaining mature neuronal cells from reprogrammed skin cells allows researchers to safely and effectively study diseases such as schizophrenia and autism.
Researchers have uncovered a mechanism which guides the wiring of neural circuits in a developing brain.
