In the lingo of the field, dopamine-producing cells are measuring a reward prediction error — the difference between the ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester and Harvard Medical School developed a nano-micelle CBD formulation that rapidly ...

Parkinson’s disease steals ease and movement by striking a narrow band of midbrain neurons. If you study or cover neuroscience, you have seen the promise and frustration in efforts to grow these ...

For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside ...

Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo and Juntendo University have identified a previously unknown structural domain in ...

A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

The authors used a Bayesian modeling framework to fit behavior and serotonin neuron activity to reward history across multiple timescales. A key goal was to distinguish value coding from other ...

Researchers have developed the most detailed molecular map yet of how the brain develops and reacts to inflammation, ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown “hook-like” domain in the tail of the kinesin-2 motor protein that explains how these molecular machines select the right cargo inside cells.
