When navigating a place that we're only somewhat familiar with, we often rely on unique landmarks to help make our way.

Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each ...

Neuroscientists can now make precise genetic tweaks to the neurons that are most affected by brain diseases such as Parkinson ...

Hemodynamic occlusion introduces a spatially heterogenous confound to activity measurements using two-photon and widefield imaging in mouse cortex, and needs to be taken into consideration when ...

To do so, Papouin and his team stimulated norepinephrine secretion from mouse brain cells or exposed mouse brain slices to norepinephrine and found that norepinephrine weakened connections between ...

A new study by Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct ...

This is a potentially valuable modeling study on sequence generation in the hippocampus in a variety of behavioral contexts. While the scope of the model is ambitious, its presentation is incomplete ...

Blame cell death and fungi for brain decay, not TikTok. TikTok won't really make your brain rot. That doesn't happen until after death. While most brains rot quickly, researchers have found a ...

In a new study, researchers identified a molecule produced by a particular type of brain cell that reversed ... they found that hevin was also decreased in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.

Andrew Luskin conducted research on the brain's peri-locus coeruleus neurons while he was a UW Medicine neuroscience Ph.D. student. A small cluster of cells deep within our brains, called the ...
