A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

New research shows how CCN1, a protein secreted by astrocytes, is critical for stabilizing neural circuits in adulthood.

CCN1 is a key factor for stabilizing brain circuits in adulthood, offering a therapeutic target for conditions, such as Alzheimer's and PTSD.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a previously uncharacterized neural circuit that directly links ...

For decades, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been diagnosed from the outside in, through behavior, mood, and memory ...

Forgoing sleep to watch one more episode of the latest show, to read one more chapter of a thrilling book, or even to pull an all-nighter, is not uncommon. But sleep deprivation can catch up to people ...

Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...

Whether it is a Friday-night drink with friends, a quiet glass of wine to unwind after a long day, or as a wedding toast, alcohol has woven itself into celebration, comfort, and routine. This ...
