Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have studied the impact of two brain areas on the nature of memory content. The team from the Department of Neurophysiology showed in rats how the ...

Researchers at the University of Lausanne have identified a novel role for the brain's "locus coeruleus" in sleep and its disruptions. This brain region facilitates the transition between NREM and REM ...

Turns out, your brain isn’t just a squishy mass of pinkish-grey. Hidden deep inside is a tiny “blue spot” that plays a major role in our cognition — and a new study shows that it goes through a ...

We found that the locus coeruleus may provide the critical 'start' signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, 'Hey, we're in a new event now,'" said Davachi. "Prior work had shown that bursts of locus ...

Place a finger on the back of your skull, at a point roughly level with the tops of your ears. Here, deep beneath the hair, skin and bone, near a fluid-filled cavity in the root of your brain, lies a ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 18 (May 3, 2022), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) The noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC) is a controller of brain and ...

Andrew Luskin conducted research on the brain's peri-locus coeruleus neurons while he was a UW Medicine neuroscience Ph.D. student. A small cluster of cells deep within our brains, called the locus ...

Researchers have uncovered why smell often fades early in Alzheimer’s: the brain’s immune cells dismantle key nerve connections between the olfactory bulb and brainstem. Membrane changes in neurons ...
