Neuroscientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a brain cell surface molecule shapes the way certain neurons behave. The research, published October 2 in Nature, reveals how a ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

Duke Health researchers found a relationship between immune response and neurological behavior after studying mice with a specific gene mutation, which exhibited signs of ADHD in response to an ...

A series of recent studies in mice and rats has mapped specific brain circuits that appear to drive chronic pain, identifying ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

A sequence of stress signals among specialized clean-up cells in the brain could at last reveal why some immune responses can cause significant nerve degeneration that results in the loss of memory, ...

Neuronal pathways originating from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of the brain participate in different adaptive behaviors, but which pathways are used for distinct adaptive strategies remains unclear ...

Quick-acting targeted therapies with minimal side effects are an urgent need for the treatment of anxiety-related disorders. While delta opioid receptor (DOP) agonists have shown 'anxiolytic' or ...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMS), i.e., laminin-1 or N-cadhedrin Adhesion and attractant Allow cells to grow along the surfaces of other cells (such as using pioneering axons for subsequent axons) ...
