Neuroscientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a brain cell surface molecule shapes the way certain neurons behave. "We've discovered that the calcium permeable subtype of AMPA receptors has an added role of suppressing the selectivity of…
A University of Minnesota Twin Cities researcher is part of an international team that has used imaging technology to show, for the first time, the creation and elimination of synapses between neurons in the brains of live mice. The research…
Newswise — LOS ANGELES (Oct. 27, 2026) -- A walnut-sized area of the brain known as the amygdala plays a giant role in determining which experiences end up in long-term memory and which are forgotten. The Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University discovery points to the…
Newswise — In a study led by Cedars-Sinai, researchers have discovered two types of brain cells that play a key role in dividing continuous human experience into distinct segments that can be recalled later. The discovery provides new promise as a…
Human brain recordings reveal how category-selective amygdala neurons predict later image recognition, beyond emotional content. (CREDIT: The Brighter Side of News) Whether a new image becomes a memory may depend partly on how strongly a particular group of brain cells…
A viral gene therapy that ablates the cerebrospinal fluid-producing choroid plexus prevented hydrocephalus-related brain swelling in mice while moderately reducing hippocampal neurogenesis. Choroid Plexus Ablation Eases Hydrocephalus Brain Swelling in Mice Subject of Research: Choroid plexus ablation via AAV5 gene therapy…
A systematic review finds that just three small, non-randomized studies with low-certainty evidence suggest plasticity-based training may improve selected residual visual functions after cortical blindness.
Patient-derived ventral organoids show that GATOR1-related focal epilepsy involves MAFB-driven interneuron defects independent of mTOR hyperactivation. Using patient-derived brain organoids, researchers have uncovered how mutations in GATOR1 genesâthe most common monogenic cause of non-acquired focal epilepsyâdisrupt brain development in…
Restoring the peroxisomal fission protein PEX11β improved motor and cognitive deficits and mitochondrial gene expression in a toxin-induced mouse model of Huntington's-like disease, with Yin Yang 1 identified as a key regulator of PEX11β and Complex II co-expression. In a study published in…
A simulation-based study presents a nonlinear state-space model linking stress, negative cognitive bias and multivariate EEG and ERP signals, reporting model-implied slopes and sensitivity checks rather than clinical effects. The work, authored by Yimin Zhang and Jianping Liu of Jiangxi…
The science of the brain and nervous system: neurons and circuits, memory and cognition, the senses, sleep and how brains develop and age.
