A new study shows that prenatal disruption of the endocannabinoid system can have long-lasting effects on brain structure and ...

How do brains turn environmental inputs into motor outputs? This question, known as the “black box” problem, has left ...

Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered how DNA damage caused by a faulty DNA protection and repair system can lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as motor neuron disease (MND).

When David Scott suddenly had slurred speech that left a friend thinking he was having a stroke, he contacted his GP for help—only to be asked by a receptionist if he had been 'drinking'. But just ...

Rewiring the command neurons in the tactile circuit is sufficient to change the behavioral strategy of a whole animal, implying a 'plug-and-play' flexibility in sensorimotor circuits.

A new study published in Brain Sciences provides evidence that dopamine promotes movement by directly altering the excitability of key neurons in the brain’s motor circuitry. The research identifies a ...

This work, combining behavioural genetics and calcium imaging, provides evidence for a form of learning in Drosophila that derives solely from direct or (optogenetically induced) phantom experience of ...

Although neurobiological studies have long studied the various regions of the brain, there was an absence of information on the interconnectedness between the regions and the neuronal network that ...

Lipid signalling encompasses a diverse set of cell signalling events. Lipid second messengers, including phosphatidylinositols, sphingolipids and steroid hormones, bind to proteins to effect changes ...

Targeting prostaglandin E 2 receptor 2 in Schwann cells inhibits inflammatory pain but not inflammation Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are known to alleviate pain by reducing ...
