Researchers identify a neural circuit in the lateral hypothalamus that suppresses itch during acute stress, offering new insights into chronic itch management.

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers clarified how the body-brain axis, via specific neural circuits, senses and regulates inflammatory responses, possibly providing new ...

The brain reinforces seizure networks during post-seizure sleep by hijacking the same mechanisms used for memory consolidation.

Researchers have built AI systems capable of steering targeted brain circuits in real time, moving neuroscience closer to ...

In a small lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz, clusters of mouse brain cells have taken on a task normally reserved for computer algorithms: ...

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 ...

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. Neuronal ...
