Three centers, one vision, built over decades around a single, enormously difficult question: Can we read the neural circuitry of bipolar disorder before the disorder reads the patient? Recently, her ...

Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...

The human brain contains more connections between neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way. Decoding the electrical activity behind all those cells is the massive task that excites neural ...

This framework was applied to neural recordings from animals receiving one of the three anesthetics—propofol, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine.

Brain stimulation might sound like some Frankensteinian demonstration from a Victorian science fair. But in reality, it is a contemporary technique making a huge impact in neuroscience by addressing a ...

Researchers found that neurons involved in parental care also activate during comforting behavior in mice. The circuit links caregiving with the brain’s reward system, suggesting prosocial actions may ...

Researchers identify PV neurons in the prefrontal cortex as the gatekeepers of drug addiction relapse, offering a new target for precision treatment.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that the constant gnawing of rodents isn't just a reflex or a ...

Whether it is a Friday-night drink with friends, a quiet glass of wine to unwind after a long day, or as a wedding toast, alcohol has woven itself into celebration, comfort, and routine. This ...
