A peer-reviewed paper published in Frontiers in Psychology proposes that consciousness is not simply a byproduct of brain activity but instead acts as a top-down force that shapes neural processes.

Researchers identify PV neurons in the prefrontal cortex as the gatekeepers of drug addiction relapse, offering a new target for precision treatment.

Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that the constant gnawing of rodents isn't just a reflex or a consequence of a tough diet. It also triggers a release of dopamine in the brain ...

A Silicon Valley startup claims to have achieved a scientific milestone that could reshape the future of neuroscience and artificial intelligence: the first successful “virtual brain upload.” The ...

Researchers discover a neural circuit that rewards gnawing behavior with dopamine, explaining repetitive oral habits in animals and humans.

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

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

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