New findings revise the current models for homeostatic control, researchers report.
Researchers investigate the path of synaptic vesicles.
Study identifies a population of neurons in an area of the midbrain, called the red nucleus, that alter when fine motor skills are learned. The more an action is practiced, the stronger the connections between these neurons become.
A set of neurons in the basal forebrain may drive aversions to certain foods.
Glutamate neurons in the ventral tegmental area play a key role in the underlying impact of stressors. Silencing the neurons made the brain more resilient to stress.
