Have you ever wondered how the brain is able to see things that are not really there? A hallucination is a perception formed without external stimuli. Last week, neuroscientists at the Stanford ...

Globally recognized figures Muhammad Ali and Michael J. Fox have long suffered from Parkinson's disease. The disease presents a complex set of motor symptoms, including tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia ...

A South Korean research group has reported in a new paper that artificial intelligence and light-based genetic tools can work together to diagnose and stop Parkinson’s-like disease in mice. The work ...

Optogenetics allowed the team to stimulate neurons at precise times to boost large sharp-wave ripples, which then consolidated a memory of an event the animal experienced right before sleep. The team ...

Globally recognized figures like Muhammad Ali and Michael J. Fox have long suffered from Parkinson's disease. The disease presents a complex set of motor symptoms, including tremors, rigidity, ...

Columbia scientists studying mice have identified specialized neurons that respond to a variety of cues to then instruct the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits in the brain are known ...

Researchers in Germany report a major finding in the field of neuroscience that could have important ramifications in new pain therapies targeting Schwann cells in the skin. Classical understanding of ...

Researchers have identified a group of nerve cells in the mouse brain that are involved in creating negative emotional states and chronic stress. The neurons, which have been mapped with a combination ...
