memory formation hinges on connections between groups of engram cells, which are neurons thought to capture and store ...

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

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

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 ...

The researchers focused on cells from the prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain that is crucial for cognitive processes such as thinking, planning and problem-solving. Single nucleus RNA ...

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 ...

Scientists have identified distinct thirst and hunger neurons in the amygdala that drive eating and drinking, offering insights into nutrition, addiction, and disorders.

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 ...
