A new study published in eLife has found that a remarkably rare type of neuron acts as a master conductor for the brain’s ...

Researchers found that a rare class of neurons—type-one nNOS neurons—plays a central role in regulating brain blood flow and coordinating neural activity in mice.

“Reduced blood flow is one of the contributing factors to poor brain health and conditions like Alzheimer’s,” he said. “We ...

The somatosensory cortex is a brain region known to play a role in the detection of tactile information, changes in temperature, and pain sensations. Some recent studies found that this crucial brain ...

Stress may lead to altered blood flow in the brain, reveals a new study. The findings may give vital clues to the exact ...

The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

Do sensory cortices process more than one sensory modality? To answer these questions, scientists have generated a wide variety of studies at distinct space-time scales in different animal models, and ...

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, ...

Scientists have developed better devices to help people with disabilities regain function. These findings will be presented at Neuroscience 2025, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and ...
