Cheng Lyu, PhD., Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University, California, USA, wins the Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for his work on rewiring the olfactory neural circuit in fruit flies. ...

Neural circuits in the brain are highly sophisticated biological systems, orchestrating ultra-fast, parallel computations ...

New research has discovered that a neural circuit may explain procrastination. Scientists were able to disrupt this connection using a drug. The study, led by Ken-ichi Amemori, a neuroscientist at ...

New research suggests that it could be possible to separate treatment from hallucinations when developing new drugs based on psychedelics. The anti-anxiety and hallucination-inducing qualities of ...

Adam Nelson, a principal investigator in the UW Department of Zoology and Physiology, led a study that used mice to show that social hierarchy involves status-dependent behavioral interactions that ...

A neural circuit hidden in an understudied region of the brain plays a critical role in turning temporary pain into pain that can last months or years, according to new University of Colorado Boulder ...

In a study published in Neuron, a research team led by Prof. WANG Liping from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the neural circuit ...

Working in a mouse model, UC Davis researchers are able to distinguish brain cells activated by a psychedelic drug. This image shows the prefrontal cortex of a mouse injected with scFLARE2 (purple) ...
