QRL-201 shows potential to slow ALS progression by restoring a key protein needed for nerve health, according to data from a Phase 1/2 trial.

The brain’s primitive “fear center” may be much more than that, as new research on the amygdala suggests it plays a crucial role in learning, emotion, and decision-making. Researchers from Dartmouth ...

When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize ...

Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

This study provides important insights into how working memory shapes perceptual decisions, using a dual-task design, continuous mouse tracking, and hierarchical Bayesian modeling. By dissociating ...
