Recent advances in neural circuit mapping—including viral tracing, high-resolution imaging, single-cell transcriptomics, and in vivo recordings—have greatly ...

Consciousness emerges from the coordinated activity of neural circuits spanning multiple spatial scales, from synaptic signaling to large-scale cortical ...

A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using. Previously, this phenomenon was attributed to a decline ...

A research team led by Professor Oh Yong-Seok of the Department of Brain Sciences at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science ...

Mechanism of brain neuropeptide circuit reconstruction uncovered, paving the way for next-generation rapid-acting therapies beyond serotonin - Findings published in Molecular Psychiatry, a leading jou ...

Humans and animals share a remarkable capacity to sense when others are in distress and respond with comforting behavior. But the motivation for doing so, and why it sometimes breaks down, has been ...

Background Social memory-the ability to recognize familiar individuals and distinguish them from strangers-is fundamental to social cognition. Deficits in social memory are hallmarks of multiple ...

A new study reveals the brain circuit behind parental care also controls helping behavior, offering clues about the roots of compassion.

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

Astrocytes in the cerebellum trigger a shift in GABA signaling during late adolescence, enabling adult-level motor coordination.

A new study found that deep sleep weakens breathing brain timing in movement circuits and changes internal brain ...
