When an aging mouse with Alzheimer’s-like symptoms suddenly starts acing memory tests it had been failing for weeks, ...

Vision feels like a camera feed from the eyes, but new work on a hidden brain circuit suggests what we see is constantly edited by internal signals about how alert, focused, or distracted we are.

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have identified in a preclinical model a specific brain circuit whose inhibition appears to reduce anxiety without side effects. Their work suggests a new target ...

In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data on brain circuit function to derive interpretable, personalized brain circuit ...

The brain can direct the immune system to an unexpected degree, capable of detecting, ramping up and tamping down inflammation, shows a new study in mice. The brain can direct the immune system to an ...

A new study investigated the brain circuits involved in psychosis—a condition characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking and detachment from reality. Andrew Pines, MD, MA, a ...

Synthetic Trogocytosis (SynTrogo) enables the "nibbling" of neuronal membranes by astrocytes through engineered ligand and receptor proteins. Upon SynTrogo induction, the synaptic density of the ...

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have uncovered the first direct evidence that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can remodel white matter pathways in the brain and alter ...

This 3D illustration shows color-coded basal ganglia structures. These subcortical brain regions are located beneath the cerebrum's outermost layer of gray matter known as the cerebral cortex. Source: ...

Labeled in red are neurons in the brainstem of a mouse that control body inflammatory responses. Labeled in blue are the brain’s other cells. NEW YORK, NY — The brain can direct the immune system to ...
