Scientists studying the clonal raider ant have now discovered how this works: each neuron activates one odor gene while ...

Neurons selective to running trajectories in the rat anterior cingulate cortex are reactivated during observation and interact with hippocampal replay to guide subsequent spatial navigation.

Researchers discovered that female mice gain access to aggression after giving birth through a brain circuit usually dormant in non-pregnant females.

Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying associative threat learning is essential for advancing behavioral models of threat and adaptation. We investigated distinct activation patterns across ...

Evidence challenging the long-held assumption that neuronal function in the brain is solely powered by sugars has given ...

Summary: Scientists have shown that neurons don’t rely solely on sugar for energy — they can also burn fat. When energy ...

The rhythm of an infant's brain activity seems to put them in constant learning mode, whereas that of an adult may allow them ...

The brain, one of the most sophisticated and complex organs, remains a mystery in many aspects of its function. Scientists in ...

Researchers identified three subtypes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, each with distinct mechanisms that could be future ...

Scientists have pinpointed Y1 receptor neurons in the brain that can override chronic pain signals when survival instincts like hunger or fear take precedence. Acting like a neural switchboard, these ...
