In a study published in Neuron, a research team led by Prof. Wang Liping from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the neural circuit ...

Axons in the thalamus (pink) extended toward the cortex, while those in the cortex (green) extended toward the thalamus at 14 days post-fusion. A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the ...

Neuropathic pain affects nearly 10% of the global population, and up to 60% of those individuals also struggle with anxiety ...

Scientists led by Juan Lerma from the Institute of Neuroscience in Spain have identified a specific neural circuit in the brain that plays a key role in the formation of anxiety, depressive behavior ...

Research has revealed that the brain uses entirely different neural circuits for "social laughter" — laughing to play along ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Allen Institute and University of Washington postdoctoral researcher Denis Turcu uses computational models to study how the ...
