Stress-recruited neurons can cause anxiety-like avoidance and increase peripheral corticosterone concentration.

The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) serotonergic (5-HT) system has been implicated in regulating sleep and motor control; however, its specific role remains controversial. In this study, we found that ...

Objectives: Brain‒computer interfaces (BCI) are currently used in clinical studies but mostly rely on population level signals that limit their precision, facing challenges of interpretability and ...

Is endurance all in your head? A new study reveals that VMH neurons in the brain direct the body to boost physical stamina.

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...

Using advanced human cell cultures to model Rett syndrome, MIT researchers tracked how two different mutations alter neural ...

How do worms navigate? A new study maps the whole-brain circuit of C. elegans, revealing how neurons and the chemical ...

It is known that a change in the whole extracellular milieu affects neuron activity and thereby brain activity. However, it has so far not been known how local changes in ion concentration affect ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

A psychedelic found in mushrooms is emerging as a potential treatment for alcohol use disorders. This possibility is due to a compound the body converts the psychedelic into called psilocin, but ...
