Researchers recorded alterations in levels of both dopamine and serotonin in the brain when people perform perception and decision making based tasks. Read More
Electrophysiology
Electrophysiology research articles can cover research involving whole cell patch-clamp recordings, voltage clamping, current clamping, multielectrode arrays, EEG, brain machine interfaces, field potentials, neural prosthetics, deep brain stimulation, synaptic plasticity and other work.
The retrieval of mitochondria via a feedback loop is vital to sustaining synaptic transmission. Read More
Receptor potentiation was observed when the antagonists bind to receptors that consist of different subunits, where it acts as a subunit. Read More
Working memory isn't confined to one area of the brain. It requires synchronous activity of at least two brain areas. Read More
Researchers have identified a novel neural circuit that detects male pheromone cues pertaining to inter-male aggression. Read More
Researchers have identified a key neural circuit that plays a role in dissociation, a phenomenon in which people can feel disconnected from their bodies and reality. Read More
Alterations in the excitation and inhibition balance is regulated in the developing brain by astrocytes via the ephrin-B1 protein. The loss of astrocytic ephrin-B1 alters the E/I balance by reducing inhibition, resulting in hyperactivity of neural circuits. The hyperactivity results in reduced sociability in mice. Read More
Distinct personality traits emerge and manifest via both behavior and neural activity. Read More
Paying attention alters how the brain allocates its limited energy. As the brain uses more energy to process information we attend to, the less energy is supplied to processing outside our field of attention. Read More
Common green apple flavorant farnesene enhances nicotine reward in mouse models. The flavorant is also rewarding on its own. Researchers say with or without nicotine, flavored vapes, especially those containing farnesene, pose potential neurological risks, including addiction. Read More
The act of remapping an area can be mathematically modeled as probabilistic reasoning in rodents. Read More
High resolution imaging reveals the human cerebellum is 80% of the area of the cortex. The findings indicate this area of the brain likely grew larger as human behavior and cognition evolved. Read More
