A research group led by Prof. Zhang Peng from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed how ...

The brainstem, positioned at the base of the brain, is a compact yet critical structure comprised of three primary components ...

ABSTRACT: Our general understanding of the function of neurons is that dendrites receive information that is relayed to the axon, where action potentials are initiated and propagated to eventually ...

B, Ipsilateral anterodorsal and anteroventral thalamic nuclei are labeled with beads. C, Ipsilateral granular (gRSC) and dysgranular (dRSC) retrosplenial cortex labeling. Scale bars B, C, 200 µm. D, ...

Researchers identified hyperactivity in a specific brain region as a driver of autism-like behaviours in mice – and reversed these symptoms using drugs first designed to treat epilepsy. Stanford ...

Stanford Medicine scientists investigating the neurological basis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have found that hyperactivity in a specific brain region could drive behaviors commonly associated ...

Researchers have identified hyperactivity in the reticular thalamic nucleus as a driver of autism-like behaviors in mice. This brain region, which gates sensory information, was found to be overactive ...

Background and Purpose— After focal cerebral ischemia, depending on its localization and extent, secondary neuronal damage may occur that is remote from the initial lesion. In this study differences ...

Summary: Researchers discovered how sleep deprivation can exacerbate pain. Their study demonstrates that a neurotransmitter, N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA), decreases in a brain region called the ...

The developing visual thalamus and cortex extract positional information encoded in the correlated activity of retinal ganglion cells by synaptic plasticity, allowing for the refinement of ...
