Researchers have uncovered how losing the autism-linked gene PTEN in a specific set of inhibitory neurons reshapes brain circuits tied to fear and anxiety.

Summary: New research reveals how a tiny chemical mark on RNA helps wire the brain during development. Scientists discovered ...

The importance of this brain pathway lies in its sensitivity to stress signals and its influence on sleep and memory. Disruptions within this circuit appear to intensify sleep loss and cognitive ...

Tree-shrew study finds specific brain circuit linking nighttime light exposure and depression by Zhang Nannan, Chinese Academy of Sciences edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

Predicting how molecular changes affect the brain's overall activity is a major challenge in neuroscience. Many deep ...

Now, researchers from the Department of Neuroscience and the Center for Basic Metabolic Research at the University of Copenhagen have identified a neural circuit in the mouse's brain which ensures ...

Curious to learn more about the neurons that regulate sleep, the researchers first mapped neural circuits upstream of known sleep-promoting brain regions in mice. After identifying 11 candidate ...

Activating a specific group of neurons tied to stress responses leads to reduced sleep and memory difficulties in male mice, pointing to a distinct brain circuit involved in how stress impairs ...

Participants were assigned to three groups - ChatGPT, Google, and Brain-only - and asked to write an essay, while wearing an electroencephalography (EEG) device to record their brain activity.

Eisai said the proof-of-concept Usuki study has found that the sensor/algorithm combination has “sufficient capability for screening” and could be a low-cost, easy-to-use alternative to ...

Researchers with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has identified in a recent study which brain circuits are essential for visual acuity and how they may be affected by retinal cell damage. The ...

The researchers also analyzed how JRT affected gene expression in the brain. After a single dose, they found that JRT did not induce gene expression changes associated with schizophrenia, while LSD ...
