Discover the first images of cytonemes during mammalian neural development, serving as express routes to establish morphogen gradients and tissue patterning. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal ...

Every year, about 11 percent of Americans experience the heart-pounding, nauseating sensations of intense fear that characterize a panic attack. 1 While some treatments for panic disorder exist, ...

Fear memories can form in the brain following exposure to threatening situations such as natural disasters, accidents, or violence. When these memories become excessive or distorted, they can lead to ...

Because unpleasant withdrawal symptoms fuel nicotine addiction’s high relapse rate, targeting their underlying mechanisms with treatments may promote continued abstinence from the drug. In a new ...

In a recent review published in the journal Current Biology, researchers examined the origins, mechanisms, and significance of interoception (the sensing and processing of internal bodily states) and ...

An analysis of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study data showed that children accepted by their parents and more ...
