Scientists have developed a powerful new tool to map different types of cells throughout the brain. Using this technique, ...

Researchers have revealed neural circuits in the brainstem that are crucially involved in implementing decisions by controlling three fundamental behavioral states or strategies: perseverance, ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Arlington and the University of California–San Francisco have used a new ...

National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive ...

By comparison, activating the glutamatergic neurons — even for just two seconds — caused mice to spend more time leaping from one object to another in quick succession, indicating increased ...

Researchers have identified memory-related brain cells that are highly vulnerable to tau protein accumulation, a key factor in Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers from The University of Texas at Arlington and the University of California–San Francisco have used a new brain-mapping technique to identify memory-related brain cells vulnerable to ...

In the human brain, the functions of GABAergic neurons are intimately connected with glutamatergic neurons and astrocytes, making co- or tri-culturing these cell types desirable in vitro. ioGABAergic ...

Another significant breakthrough in this research is the identification of a subset of glutamatergic neurons in the habenula, which plays a crucial role in regulating dopamine neurons in the VTA.

A new study in Engineering explores the role of astrocytic G protein-coupled receptors in drug addiction. It shows that these ...
