A new study from UC San Francisco shows how certain cells in the brain may cause aneurysms to weaken and rupture. It helps ...

University of Oregon neuroscientists have identified a group of brain cells that essentially act as a "disappointment meter," ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded. These signals can be used to understand how the brain performs certain ...

Researchers have identified brain cells that are dedicated to measuring disappointment when rewards fall short.

Kevin Guttenplan, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), says astrocytes are like the “dark ...

Summary: Researchers cracked open the earliest cellular origins of Rett syndrome. The investigation bypassed traditional tissue-level barriers by physically separating genetically healthy and mutated ...

Researchers identified brain cells in the lateral habenula that activate when outcomes are worse than expected, acting as a ...

For decades, textbooks told students the human brain contained 100 billion neurons. That figure, repeated so often it became ...

To better understand what drives the emergence of symptoms in Rett syndrome, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and ...
