Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

It often begins quietly. A presentation that didn’t go as planned. A number on the weighing scale. A fleeting comparison on ...

A wave of recent neuroscience research has identified specific molecular and cellular mechanisms through which alcohol disrupts signaling between brain cells, offering a sharper picture of how ...

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

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

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

Flexible control of movement timing is essential for behavior, relying on an adjustable timer in the brain. By measuring and manipulating activity in interacting brain regions, scientists could pause ...

Because ischemia induced tolerance induces the birth of new neurons following global ischemia, this study determined whether 2.5 minutes of global ischemia and ischemia-induced tolerance would induce ...

Our brains don’t just store motor memories like files on a computer, they build and reshape them as we practice new skills. A Stanford-led team has shown that when we learn, disorganized webs of ...

A sustained imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms within the glutamatergic and GABAergic systems of the cerebral cortex, induced by noxious stimuli, is a fundamental characteristic in ...
