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 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
Study shows adolescents find vaping nicotine more rewarding than adults, and do so after shorter exposure. The findings may explain why vaping is so popular in the teenage demographic. Read More
Depression and anxiety have different biochemical links to inflammation and lipid metabolism. Those with depression have greater levels of inflammation and different types and amounts of lipids in their blood compared to those with anxiety. The metabolites associated with depression were linked to the severity of symptoms. Higher levels of lipids associated with depression detected in a person's blood correlated with more severe symptoms. Read More
Researchers found specific neurons in the striosome that help mice learn to avoid negative experiences. Read More
Study identifies a specific type of immune cell that induces inflammation in herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis. Read More
A newly developed wider spectrum for the dLight1 sensor allows for multiplex imaging of neurotransmitters. The new sensor will help researchers detect and monitor different information processing activities in the brain. Read More
Microglia, immune cells that protect the brain from infection and inflammation, also appear to play a critical role in sculpting circuits in the developing brain. Read More
Women who have been pregnant were diagnosed with their first multiple sclerosis symptoms, on average, 3.3 years later than women with MS who had never become pregnant. Read More
Time-sensitive neuron fatigue in the supramarginal gyrus skew how we perceive time. Read More
Two weeks of visuospatial training reduced motion sickness by 51% in a driving simulator and by 58% during on-road journeys. Read More
The immune molecule interleukin-17 (Il-17a) appears to influence vigilance and alertness in mouse models. Findings suggest the immune cell affects both brain function and behavior. Read More
