Scientists have developed a novel, high-resolution, personalized model of Deep Brain Stimulation for patients suffering from depression.

Scientists have discovered that hypothalamic neurons in an animal model directly detect variations in gut bacterial activity and adapt appetite and body temperature accordingly.

A new study has found that disulfiram, a drug used to treat chronic alcoholism, can safely reduce anxiety levels in rodents.

Research shows that inhibiting a key signaling pathway in the immune cells of the brain could be a new target to slow the progress of Alzheimer’s disease.

In a work of systematic biology that advances the field, University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers have identified 16 distinct cell populations in a complex area of the midbrain called the ventral tegmental area, or VTA.

Researchers report the discovery of a novel mechanism by which pathological forms of tau protein cause neurons to die.

Researchers have discovered that people listening to instrumental music in Michigan and Arkansas imagined very similar scenes, while listeners in China envisioned completely different stories.

A new drug called valbenazine has proven beneficial in treating a movement disorder commonly associated with Huntington’s disease, according to a recent international study led by UTHealth Houston researcher Erin Furr Stimming, MD.

A study suggests that drugs already targeting noradrenaline for other diseases may be useful in treating alcohol use disorder.

Scientists have developed a promising new method to combat the age-related losses in muscle mass that often accompany immobility after injury or illness. Their technique, demonstrated in mice, arrests the process by which muscles begin to deteriorate at the onset of exercise after a period of inactivity.
