Chronic high-fat diets blunt the brain’s pleasure response to rich foods by impairing NAcLat→VTA signaling in mice. Neurotensin dysfunction underlies this effect, but restoring its signaling revives ...

On Thursday April 1, the Department of Biology hosted Niels Ringstad, professor in the Department of Cell Biology at the New ...

The goal of this Research Topic is to increase our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms contributing to the critical role of inhibitory neurotransmission ... Keywords: Gephyrin, mRNA regulation ...

Thus, involvement of the anterior CST, although not yet systematically studied in ALS, cannot be explained on a dying-back neurodegeneration, supports the wider concept of a cortical dying-forward ...

For the first time, the smallest control system of vision in mammals has been mapped—a discovery that opens entirely new ...

Neuroscience researchers have long been particularly interested in understanding how networks of excitatory and inhibitory neurons work together. It has been a fundamental challenge to uncover how ...

This valuable study shows that locomotion-related modulations in the mouse visual cortex are not uniform but primarily affect neurons in muscarinic receptor-negative patches, which receive projections ...

In this important study, the authors use computational modeling to explore how rapid learning can be reconciled with the accumulation of stable memories in the olfactory bulb, where adult neurogenesis ...

Kaken Pharmaceutical will hand Alumis $40 million in the near term for the rights to develop a late-stage tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor as a dermatology treatment in Japan. The drug in ...

Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab. Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by ...
