Dr. Halladay is a leading researcher into the causes of autism and an advocate for a science-based approach to this ...

The issue of autism prevalence gained significant attention this week after President Donald Trump, speaking at a White House press event, claimed that taking Tylenol during pregnancy was linked to an ...

Understanding the brain's functional architecture is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. The connections between neurons ultimately dictate how information is processed, transmitted, stored, and ...

A new method of CCM using which connections between neurons can be inferred based on the causal relationships between spike train data. Understanding the brain’s functional architecture is a ...

Large-scale extracellular recording techniques have advanced the study of neuronal circuits but lack methods to reliably identify cell types while scaling to thousands of neurons. We introduce ...

A team of researchers in China have developed a novel hydrogel combining CBD and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) to enhance spinal cord injury recovery, according to a study published in ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

Sometimes a gentle touch feels sharp and distinct, other times it fades into the background. This inconsistency isn’t just mood—it’s biology. Scientists found that the thalamus doesn’t just relay ...

Q: What part of the brain does this study focus on? A: The study focuses on the feedback loop between the thalamus and the somatosensory cortex, specifically how thalamic projections modulate ...

Summary: The brain depends on a delicate balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurons to function properly. A new study reveals that inhibitory neurons born later in development mature more ...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t caused by just one faulty switch in the brain; it’s more like a tangled orchestra of genes and cells thrown off-key by trauma. With many genetic players ...
