A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that the constant gnawing of rodents isn't just a reflex or a consequence of a tough diet. It also triggers a release of dopamine in the brain ...

A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

Researchers identify PV neurons in the prefrontal cortex as the gatekeepers of drug addiction relapse, offering a new target for precision treatment.

Researchers found that neurons involved in parental care also activate during comforting behavior in mice. The circuit links caregiving with the brain’s reward system, suggesting prosocial actions may ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

A new study shows that 20 minutes of cardio can trigger memory-linked brain waves in the hippocampus, offering the first direct evidence of this effect in humans.
