A new study shows how dysfunctional packaging of the neurotransmitter dopamine triggers toxic processes in neurons - and how ...

Human pluripotent stem-cells (HPSCs)—including human embryonic stem-cells and human induced pluripotent stem-cells—are reshaping the landscape of regenerative medicine.1,2 In Parkinson's disease, ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that gives rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...

Neural organoids derived from patient-specific iPSC lines can help open doors toward studying human brain development, physiology, and disease progression. The increased cell-cell interactions in ...

The midbrain is the brainstem's quiet yet critical component, governing everything from alertness and eye movements to our fundamental orientation in the world If the brain were a grand Indian ...

In five patients with DBN and dorsal midbrain syndrome, aqueductal stenosis or compression with upgaze paresis were unifying features. Potential mechanisms for DBN include involvement of the ...

Every fleeting glance you take of your surroundings sets off a chain reaction inside your skull, shuttling retinal signals to a tiny midbrain hub. New findings show that this relay does more than ...

This study demonstrates that neurons receiving inputs from auditory cortex in the inferior colliculus widely encode the outcome of a sound detection task independent of the presence of auditory cortex ...
