Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an innate brain developmental disorder that often manifests from early childhood. While genetic factors and differences in brain development are known to be involved, ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University have identified a previously unrecognized mechanism by which structural changes in the ...

Scientists led by Juan Lerma from the Institute of Neuroscience in Spain have identified a specific neural circuit in the brain that plays a key role in the formation of anxiety, depressive behavior ...

A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an ...

Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is a common cause of chronic vestibular syndrome. Although previous studies have identified central abnormalities in PPPD, the specific neural circuits ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University have identified a previously unrecognized mechanism by which structural changes in the ...

In a first, a large, international team led by multiple labs at Harvard Medical School and Princeton University has published ...

Axons in the thalamus (pink) extended toward the cortex, while those in the cortex (green) extended toward the thalamus at 14 days post-fusion. A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the ...

A recent study published in the journal Nature reveals how a specific stress hormone helps the brain lock in its neural ...

The living system follows the principles of physics, yet distinctive features, such as adaptability, differentiate it from conventional systems. The cognitive functions of decision-making (DM) and ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

People who cut their sleep short are quietly degrading the brain circuit responsible for recognizing familiar faces and ...
