In a recent study published in Nature, researchers attempted to investigate whether functional connectivity between glioblastoma and the brain affected cognition-regulating neural circuits and the ...

A previously unknown neural circuit in the brains of female mice is activated during infanticidal behaviour, and reciprocally inhibits another circuit that promotes maternal-care behaviour. These ...

A new framework that causes artificial neural networks to mimic how real neural networks operate in the brain has been ...

A research team has created 20 new recombinant rabies viral vectors for neural circuit mapping that offer a range of significant advantages over existing tools, including the ability to detect ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. Although previous ...

An electronic scaffold can promote brain regeneration and simultaneously monitor the functional rewiring of neural circuits in mice following a brain lesion. This multimodal, 3D electronic scaffold, ...

In a study published in Neuron, a research team led by Prof. WANG Liping from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the neural circuit ...

This image represents the opposite effects the basal forebrain has on feeding behavior. It either induces obesity or anorexia depending on the level of activity. If the basal forebrain is inactive, ...

Florida Atlantic University neuroscientists have uncovered a surprising role for a protein named “Frazzled” (known as DCC in mammals) in the nervous system of fruit flies, showing how it helps neurons ...

How the brain gets wired up matters. Consider the neurons involved in the sense of smell. Hook them up wrong, and suddenly ...
