Researchers use rabies viruses to see how well transplanted neural cells have connected to neural network in the brains of mice.
Researchers link a gene that encodes a serotonin transporter to social phobia.
Researchers converted skin cells from patients with a rare congenital brain defect into pluripotent stem cells to generate brain organoids.
Researchers report low doses of THC can help restore memory and reverse some of the effects of brain aging in mice. The findings could open new avenues for treating dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Blocking the breakdown of a specific fat molecule in the the brains of mice lead to reduced learning ability and memory retention. Additionally, researchers noted an increase of Alzheimer's related proteins. Findings may help explain how dementia may develop in humans, researchers say.
Researchers reveal how our brain's reward system tricks us into thinking a more expensive bottle of wine tastes better.
Researchers report social norms together with increasing oxytocin can counter xenophobia by enhancing altruistic behaviors.
A new study reports photoreceptors in the retina are sensitive to colors corresponding to their visual pigments.
A new study reveals how dangerous inflammations in the brain are caused during the aging process. Researchers say failure with the CB1 to control activity of immune cells may result in chronic neuroinflammation. They say it may be possible to break this vicious cycle in the future with drugs that contain THC, which is a powerful CB1 receptor activator.
A new study reveals human neural activation is different in response to different numbers. The findings demonstrate how we learn to handle number symbols in comparison to quantities.
Researchers report inhibited activity of the amygdala makes people more susceptible to deception when it comes to illusory perception. The study suggests the amygdala might help to protect us against distortions in self-perception.
Neurons in the entorhinal cortex fire in parallel to hippocampal neurons during associative memory tasks.
