This is a valuable computational study of odor responses in the early olfactory system of insects and vertebrates. The study addresses the question of how information about odor concentration is ...

A new study published in Diagnostics provides evidence that the striatum, rather than the cerebral cortex, receives the highest concentration of dopamine input in the brain. Advanced confocal ...

They reveal how specific cell types in the prefrontal cortex respond to stress at a molecular level, helping scientists understand how PTSD can reshape the brain’s function over time.

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal transmission between brain cells functions very reliably even at low ...

“Finding [concept neurons] in the piriform cortex was something quite unexpected,” Mormann said. It suggests that this brain region, previously associated mainly with odor processing, is also involved ...

Using cryo-EM, researchers elucidated the structure of key receptors integral to fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the rat cerebellum.

The neuroscientist working on ‘zapping’ away unwanted memories “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” might not be fiction for much longer, if memory researcher Steve Ramirez gets his way.

A published in 1978 showed the levels of insulin in the rat brain were “at least 10 times higher than that found in plasma … and in some regions … 100 times higher”. If true, why isn’t ...

The CRISPR interference system was carried by lentiviruses injected directly into the nucleus accumbens in the rat brain. The knockdown experiments together suggested that reelin expression allows ...

Final Thought: Manage Like a Brain-Savvy Human Understanding how the brain works isn’t just interesting trivia: It’s the blueprint for managing with clarity, creativity, and compassion.
