A new study has found that 12 sessions of dynamic cycling may help restore neural connections disrupted by Parkinson's ...

We've long known how the nerve endings in our skin detect cold and swiftly relay the information to our brains, but we ...

In a nutshell The brain uses active “circuit breakers” to suppress irrelevant information, rather than passively letting distractions fade away – a fundamental discovery that changes our ...

Long-term cycling programs appear to reshape brain signals in Parkinson’s patients Deep brain stimulation recordings reveal ...

Sometimes a gentle touch feels sharp and distinct, other times it fades into the background. This inconsistency isn’t just ...

Ringwood, who wasn’t involved in the study, told Medical News Today that the idea of a physical connection between two brain regions that appear involved in regulating feeding behavior isn’t new.

A new study provides the first visual evidence showing that brain circuits in living animals can be activated by ultrasound ...

But if the brain circuits that help guide this behavior are disrupted, these signals may get confused, leading to food being rewarding even when you are full. If this happens, a person's BMI could ...

The newly uncovered connection suggests a potential brain circuit that could be targeted neurostimulation therapies to treat substance use disorders.

The circuit seems to have a feedback loop as well. That is, not only can Cacna1h+ neural activity initiate behavior, but behavior can activate the neurons themselves.

An alternative hypothesis suggests that the circuit is specialized to store episodic memories, but also encodes spatial memory because location is one aspect of many episodic memories.

They report that food smells become less attractive when someone is full. If brain connection doesn’t function properly, researchers say a person’s body mass may be higher.
