How the brain gets wired up matters. Consider the neurons involved in the sense of smell. Hook them up wrong, and suddenly ...

A rare intracranial brain-recording study revealed that tirzepatide, a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, temporarily silences craving-related neural activity in a key reward circuit of the brain.

While wiring may have some similarities with access control technology, fire code compliance demands a different approach ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) rostral to the lumbar locomotor center disrupts communication between the brain and the spinal ...

Quantum computers are computing systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects. These computers rely ...

The performance of skilled behaviors requires a balance between consistency and adaptability. Although the neural mechanisms that regulate this balance have been extensively studied at systems and ...

A new MIT study illustrates how areas within the brain’s executive control center tailor their messages in specific circuits ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified a brain circuit that can drive repetitive and compulsive behaviours in ...

The authors have performed a potentially valuable new kind of analysis in connectomics, mapping to an interesting developmental problem of synaptic input to sensory neurons. While the analysis itself ...

A new study has identified a specific brain circuit that can push behavior into a compulsive “repeat mode,” forcing mice to continue digging and sniffing even when rewards are available.
