Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence ...

Navigating an environment is a key skill for many organisms. For years, scientists have wondered how the brain pieces together environmental inputs, compares them to an animal’s desired destination, ...

HHMI researchers have identified a neural circuit in the subfornical organ that regulates thirst in mice. Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists have identified a circuit in the brains of mice ...

A key question in both clinical and basic neuroscience research is how to create synaptic connections to restore function to a damaged or malfunctioning neural circuit. To date, pharmacological ...

By identifying a dedicated neural circuit for vicarious fear, this research lays the groundwork for targeted therapies aimed at restoring normal fear processing in these conditions. The study also ...

The results in children mirrored those observed in the mouse models. The connectivity of the neural circuit between the superior colliculus and the ventral tegmental area in the brain was predictive ...

Pasca noted that the circuit is far from complete ... mediated gene editing to introduce these mutations to the assembloids to assess their effects on neural activity throughout the organoids. The ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute-led research has uncovered three neural circuit mechanisms that enable female fruit flies to modify their visual processing during aggressive interactions.
