In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Two-photon microscopy captures axonal segments in a living brain, enabling researchers to quantify structural changes in specialized areas under noninvasive low-intensity repetitive transcranial ...

The uncinate fasciculus is a major white matter pathway involved in memory, emotion, and language, but its microscopic ...

Axons, the fundamental output structures of neurons, play a pivotal role in transmitting electrical signals over long distances without attenuation in the nervous system. Beyond their classical role ...

In a study published in Cell on July 10, researchers reported the first comprehensive study of whole-brain projectomes of the macaque prefrontal cortex (PFC) at the single-neuron level and revealed ...

Using sensors and a light-activated drug, the team mapped neural pathways used by endogenous opioids to send pain relief ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. Blocking brain damage triggered by a glioblastoma, an ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
