Researchers mapped 84,000 neurons in a mouse brain after it watched video clips. The 3D map links structure and activity.

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

Researchers identified a direct connection between cancer-related inflammation and the loss of motivation characteristic of advanced cancer. In a mouse study, they describe a brain pathway that starts ...

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section of a mammalian brain. This feat, part of the MICrONS Project, rivals the ...

A cruel consequence of advanced cancer is the profound apathy many patients experience as they lose interest in ...

Advanced cancer often leads to cachexia, a syndrome causing profound apathy in patients. New research reveals that cancer ...

OSU scientists created nanoparticles that deliver anti-inflammatory drugs across the blood-brain barrier, offering hope for ...

Scientists have unveiled the most intricate functional map of a mouse brain to date, revealing neural connections so complex ...

Researchers have discovered a way to get anti-inflammatory medicine across the blood-brain barrier, opening the door to potential new therapies for a range of conditions, including Alzheimer's disease ...

Cachexia not only contributes to reduced quality of life but also limits a patient’s ability to tolerate or benefit from standard treatments.

The fatigue and lack of motivation that many cancer patients experience near the end of life have been seen as the unavoidable consequences of their declining physical health and extreme weight loss.

New research shows that apathy and fatigue in advanced cancer are driven not by physical decline, but by inflammation-sensing ...
