Neuronal pathways originating from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of the brain participate in different adaptive behaviors, but which pathways are used for distinct adaptive strategies remains unclear ...

New research shows that sleep loss alters specific memory circuits, but also hints that a familiar compound may help restore them in unexpected ways. Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine ...

A child picks up a crayon and begins to sketch a scene from a story, not knowing that this simple act is strengthening the ...

Most patients and doctors know that stress exacerbates AD. A new study pinpoints a neural mechanism that may be involved in ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

The ringing never stops. For roughly 750 million people worldwide, according to a 2022 systematic review in JAMA Neurology, ...

In this study, the authors use microCT to image an intact hatchling octopus and segment major organ systems, including the vascular, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. The resulting dataset ...

Summary: For decades, scientists have known that the protein tau acts like a wildfire in the brain, leaping from region to ...

Healthy habits, including exercise, a good diet and getting enough sleep, can pay big dividends on improving memory function ...
