New findings published in the journal Nature Neuroscience have shed light on a mysterious pathway between the reward center of the brain that is key to how we form habits, known as the basal ganglia, ...

In a study comparing human brain communication networks with those of macaques and mice, EPFL researchers found that only the human brains transmitted information via multiple parallel pathways, ...

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...

In recent years scientists have identified hundreds of different genes associated with autism, a burst of discovery that has prompted a new and perplexing question: how can so many different genes ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form ...

Scientists have identified a protective brain pathway that may help slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease by strengthening the brain’s own dopamine‑producing neurons, but the positive effect was ...

Scientists at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and collaborators compared human brain communication networks with those of macaques and mice and found that only the human brains ...
