Unlearning fear responses is a fundamental learning process in the brain. It allows us to flexibly react to formerly ...

Researchers have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can ...

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

Top) 1. Selective expression of nano-magnetoreceptors only in desired target neurons in a mouse model with applied Cre-loxP genetic engineering technology. 2. When rotational magnetic field ...

It’s not just in your legs. Scientists have discovered a "fitness switch" in the brain that must be flipped after a workout for your body to actually build endurance.

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study publishing February 12 in the Cell Press journal Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have mapped a neural circuit in the brain involved in the complex relationship between itch and stress. Their findings, published in Cell Reports, ...

Researchers use biocompatible polydopamine nanoparticles and near-infrared light to remotely trigger activity in neuron and muscle cells with minimal side effects. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Remote control ...

When you finish a run, your muscles may feel like they did all the work. But researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and ...

Researchers at Linköping University have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Researchers at Linköping ...
