Max Planck researchers discovered specialized neurons in the amygdala that control thirst and hunger in mice. Using advanced ...

Recordings of brain activity in budgerigars reveal sets of brain cells that represent different sounds like keys on a ...

Every year, heart disease claims the lives of more Americans than any other health condition, according to the Centers for ...

In a healthy brain, CRTC1 and CREB work together to switch ... The team found that S-nitrosylation doesn’t stop CRTC1 from moving to the cell nucleus, which is where it needs to be to interact ...

Scientists from Princeton have discovered that the amygdala in the brain is responsible for the long-term avoidance of foods ...

New research reveals that stimulating angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2R) neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala can ...

As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many cellular components need access to the genome to lock it down like Fort Knox. Instead, large groupings of more than 1,000 ...

Three genetically defined types of neuronal cell in a small midbrain ... Identifying inputs from other brain areas to the median raphe nucleus was also challenging, but we eventually revealed ...

Researchers have used genetic tools to investigate how specific nerve cells in the brain respond after a spinal cord injury.

The nuclei in our cells are miniature warehouses safeguarding the genetic blueprint for the body's biologic machinery. As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many ...
