As knowledge of the development of neuronal pathways continues to grow, it also elucidates potential treatment modalities for neuronal degenerative diseases and injuries. Molecular and genetic ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

The neural mechanisms of many symptoms associated with migraine have yet to be elucidated. New research suggests that a non-image-forming retinal pathway and signals from the dura mater contribute to ...

To dissipate anger, try focusing on the good and practicing gratitude, which can channel positivity and create new neural ...

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 ...

Our understanding of schizophrenia has increased greatly in recent years, as studies of large groups of people have identified a multitude of genetic variants that increase a person's risk of the ...

In a highly novel study published in Current Biology, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the National Institute of Mental Health, or NIMH, describe how two major neuronal ...

Everyday human behavior is guided and shaped by the search for rewards. This includes eating tasty meals, drinking something refreshing, sexual activity and nurturing children. Many of these behaviors ...
