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 ...

HHMI researchers have identified a neural circuit in the subfornical organ that regulates thirst in mice ... By analyzing genetic markers, he identified three distinct cell types in the SFO: one set ...

In the study, "A synthetic protein-level neural network in mammalian cells," published in Science, researchers showed that perceptein circuits could distinguish signal inputs with tunable decision ...

They studied the cone cells, which come in three sensitivities: short, medium, and long wavelengths. Color information is processed through neural circuits that interpret data from different cone ...

Now, scientists have discovered a missing link in this neural circuit governing hunger ... involve a simple feedback loop between two types of brain cells in the hypothalamus: neurons expressing ...

known as olfactory neural circuits, along with their functionality, using stem cells sourced from rats. “Being able to generate brain tissues from one species inside another can help us ...

They are non-pathogenic and can be engineered to label specific types of neurons with fluorescent markers ... The newly developed technique also offers a way to study neuronal progenitor cells – cells ...

Using neural stem cells could help treat spinal injuries once thought to be untreatable -- a new phase 1 trial has determined this approach is safe. A Phase I clinical trial led by researchers at ...
