A new study published in Diagnostics provides evidence that the striatum, rather than the cerebral cortex, receives the highest concentration of dopamine input in the brain. Advanced confocal imaging ...

Chinese scientists have discovered subtle new earlier signs of Parkinson’s in mice, an advance that may help diagnose the ...

This webinar will focus on generation of human midbrain organoids for the study of Parkinsons Disease. In order to simplify the workflow, an established method for 2-D differentiation of floor plate ...

The brainstem, which includes your midbrain at its top, connects the brain to the spinal cord. It regulates involuntary actions like breathing and balance.

The midbrain, particularly the substantia nigra, is a hotspot for tau tangle pathology in PSP and for α-synuclein pathology in PD. The authors immunostained the brain samples with antibodies specific ...

The ability to quickly recognize sounds, particularly the vocalizations made by other animals, is known to contribute to the survival of a wide range of species. This ability is supported by a process ...

An AI-powered brain-computer interface (BCI) solution translates brain activity into synthesized speech at nearly real-time speed.

Learn about the brainstem. Find out how this critical part of your brain functions and health problems that can affect it.

Dopamine neurons in the midbrain are involved in storing short-term memories—a function previously thought to be conducted solely in the prefrontal cortex—two RIKEN neuroscientists have shown 1.

A new PET ligand, C05-05, binds α-synuclein fibrils. It lit up the midbrain in PD and DLB; the putamen and cerebellum in MSA. High midbrain C05-05 uptake correlated with worse motor symptoms.
