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 ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

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.

All LMX1A+ cells produced in our protocol exhibit ventral midbrain progenitor gene expression profiles when compared to dataset obtained from human fetal ventral midbrain. Some of the comments give us ...
