Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no cure and limited treatment options.

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These now include high ...

It is known that a change in the whole extracellular milieu affects neuron activity and thereby brain activity. However, it has so far not been known how local changes in ion concentration affect ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first large-scale recording of individual neuron activity across the entire mouse brain.

What goes wrong first in the Alzheimer’s disease brain? Scientists led by Marc Aurel Busche of the U.K. Dementia Research Institute at University College London may have an answer. In the May 7 Neuron ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope.

A psychedelic found in mushrooms is emerging as a potential treatment for alcohol use disorders. This possibility is due to a compound the body converts the psychedelic into called psilocin, but ...
