Dopamine neurons in the midbrain become active in a previously undetected way when an animal considers a reward that is changing in value.
Findings shed new light on how the brain wires during development.
Dendrites weave their way through space that balances their need to connect to other neurons, but there is a cost.
Study identifies 40 genes in mice that actively suppress axon regeneration in the central nervous system.
A new 3-D printed biomaterial is able to mimic the properties of living brain tissue. The new material could be used to enhance regenerative medicine therapies.
A new framework outperforms previous models in predicting and assessing neural network properties.
Some neurons have the ability to detect and compensate for neighboring neurons, while others do not. The findings shed new light on synaptic plasticity.
With the help of snails, researchers investigate the neural processes at work when we develop food aversions after eating a bad meal.
ApoE4, a gene associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, also appears to increase susceptibility and the severity of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for coronavirus, increased susceptibility to COVID-19 in ApoE4 neurons and astrocytes in brain organoid models.
