Researchers have for the first time identified the molecular machinery responsible for the secretion of dopamine in the brain.

A team of sleep scientists demonstrate that acute sleep loss impacts working memory differently in women and men.

Neuroscientists have found, in mice, that certain cells in the hippocampus fire when the animal is anxious, triggering anxiety-related behaviors

Researchers describe how a region of the brain called the lateral vestibular nucleus (LVN) is key to maintaining balance and keeping the body on its feet after experiencing a disturbance.

Neuroscientists ask, could klotho become a therapy for humans to improve brain health and protect against aging and disease?

Researchers find surviving sensory nerve connections in areas of no sensation in 50% of people living with complete thoracic spinal cord injuries.

New scientific research has revealed how a small part of the brain single-handedly steadies the body if it is thrown off balance.

Researchers found that you can predict who people are friends with just by looking at how their brains respond to video clips.

New molecular research shows how chemically diverse drugs used to treat depression and anxiety disorders interact with the protein that transports serotonin in the brain. The discovery could open the way for the development of additional forms of antidepressants collectively known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs.

With new findings, scientists may be poised to break a long impasse in research on Huntington’s disease, a fatal hereditary disorder for which there is currently no treatment.
