How do brain regions communicate? Researchers introduce a new optogenetic method to target long-distance circuits in ...

Can caffeine save your social life? New research shows how caffeine restores social memory impaired by sleep deprivation by targeting the hippocampal CA2 region. Learn about the molecular mechanisms ...

A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation of new memories. Researchers discovered that distinct populations of ...

Tufts University School of Medicine researchers developed imaging technology that records neuronal activity throughout the brain during the first weeks of recovery. They discovered that a head injury ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a previously uncharacterized neural circuit that directly links emotional processing to arousal. In the pathway, GABAergic neurons in the bed ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

This Research Topic focuses on cancers originating outside the central nervous system across the lifespan (including paediatric, adolescent, and adult ...
