What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of nervous systems. Neuroscience can involve research from many branches of science including those involving neurology, brain science, neurobiology, psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, prosthetics, neuroimaging, engineering, medicine, physics, mathematics, pharmacology, electrophysiology, biology, robotics and technology.
Researchers administered antibiotics to rats for two weeks, depleting their gut microbiome. They then administered oxycodone. Compared to rats given only the opioid, those given the antibiotics had profound changes in how their brains responded to the pain killers. Read More
A new study raises questions about the link between cell phone use and an increased risk of developing brain cancer. Researchers found little evidence to suggest the rate of brain cancer incidents has risen in any age group as a result of cell phone usage. Read More
A new study reports that the goal is more important than the approach when it comes to planning actions. Read More
Researchers delve into the details of molecular interactions which help guide neurons towards their anatomical boundaries. Read More
Some people feel an overwhelming sense of wanting to commit an act of aggression when they see a cute baby animal. Researchers say cute aggression may be a neural mechanism that mediates feelings of being overwhelmed. Read More
T helper cells in the blood of patients with multiple sclerosis infiltrate the central nervous system, causing inflammation and neural damage. Read More
Optogenetic inactivation of CRF neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala decreases escalation of alcohol consumption and intensity of withdrawal in rodent models of alcoholism. The findings suggest a potential target for treating excessive drinking in alcohol use disorder. Read More
Children who were prenatally exposed to cannabis had a thicker prefrontal cortex than those who were not exposed to the drug while their mothers were pregnant. Read More
A new study takes a step closer to understanding how animals' thoughts and feelings affect their perception of external stimuli. Read More
Microglia can interfere with macrophages, preventing the movement of these blood immune cells to injury sites. The findings could help in the development of new treatments for multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and spinal cord injury. Read More
According to a researchers, changes associated with brain aging could be due to vascular changes and not neural activity. Read More
