The brain of humans and other animals is known to contribute to the protection of the body from infections. Past studies have unveiled the existence of the so-called conditioned immune response (CIR), ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with diverse genetic and environmental origins, yet whether these factors converge on common molecular pathways remains unclear. This ...

Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, published April 25 in the journal Cell, offer valuable ...

What neural and behavioral mechanisms allow mice to identify food sources, navigate toward them, and initiate consumption? A research team led by Prof. Zhang Yunfeng from the Institute of Zoology of ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

In general, the migration of NCCs is a fluid-like process, characterized by frequent position exchanges among cells within the group, which allows them to respond effectively to mechanical, chemical ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...
