The aim is to map out the brain at multiple levels, from molecules, cells, circuits and tissues to brain structure and signal pathways ... and the feedback mechanism of cognitive processes ...
A new study definitively reveals the existence of a system that had been theorized to clear metabolic wastes in the human ...
Imagine your brain has all these neural pathways connecting different responses. If you’re stuck in a traffic jam, and you feel angry, that fires a series of neurons together. The first time you ...
Three nerves carry taste signals to the brain stem: the chorda tympani nerve (from the front of the tongue), the glossopharyngeal nerve (from the back of the tongue) and the vagus nerve (from the ...
"I'm not gonna do this again," we often say when faced with negative feedback ... and thus activate a number of pathways evoking a series of consequences in the brain. First and maybe foremost ...
New findings published in the journal Nature Neuroscience have shed light on a mysterious pathway between the reward center ...
Biologists at Brown University have discovered how a neuropeptide hormone made in the gut of flies can control their lifespan ...
The brain is most plastic in childhood, forming new pathways in reaction to stimuli such as language. The work is published ...
In this study, we investigated whether these visuo-spatial difficulties could originate in a dysfunction of the visual cerebral pathways (i.e., dorsal and ... ventral stream brain areas are ...
Scientists have long theorized about a network of pathways in the brain that are believed to clear metabolic proteins that would otherwise build up and potentially lead to Alzheimer's and other forms ...
The researchers also showed that the brain controls the activity of Brunner’s glands using the vagus nerve as a communication pathway. This nerve, a major part of the parasympathetic nervous system, ...
The glymphatic system, a long-theorized waste-clearing pathway in the brain, has been revealed for the first time in humans, in a new study by Oregon Health and Science University (OSHU) researchers.
