A brain circuit made up of three types of neurons may regulate appetite, a mouse study finds. The drive to eat may be ...

If you ever tried cramming all your learning in one night before the exam, you know it doesn't usually work. Surprisingly, ...

Researchers identified 16 distinct types of nerve cells involved in human touch and compared them with those in mice and ...

The findings reveal that BNC2 neurons, when activated by leptin and possibly other signals, not only suppress appetite but also alleviate the negative feelings associated with hunger. Remarkably, ...

In a new study published in Science, researchers at Harvard Medical School have mapped out the specific sensory neurons and brain pathways responsible for initiating these rapid oscillations that help ...

With 140,000 neurons, 50 million synapses and over 100,000 cell label annotations, the fruit fly brain has been mapped and ...

US researchers have found an astonishingly simple brain circuit of just three types of neurons controls chewing motions in ...

By snugly wrapping around neurons, these devices could help scientists probe subcellular regions of the brain, and might even ...

No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch.

A study found that a simple brain circuit involving BDNF neurons controls jaw movements and eating behavior, acting like a ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated how astroglia—cells that support the functioning of the brain—can be reprogrammed ...

In a small early trial using a transcranial magnetic stimulation procedure, scientists were able to target a key brain ...
