Huang and colleagues examined neural responses in mouse anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) during a discrimination-avoidance task. The authors present useful findings that ACC neurons encode primarily ...

Reorientation was chosen so that the coronal plane was aligned with the xy-plane ... We selected the following input parameters, adapted to the mouse brain: gradient orientation (0.5), gradient ...

An optic fiber would light up if the brain released dopamine and acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter known to regulate dopamine. The researchers found that mouse brains started to release ...

In a study published in Science today, Mingsha Zhang, a neuroscientist at Beijing Normal University, focused on the thalamus.

As a proof of principle, they generated a 3D interactive atlas of the brain in both normal mice and mouse models of Alzheimer's and Pompe disease, a rare genetic disorder. Sun's lab has made its ...

A new model of brain metabolism – the most complex ever generated –shows how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells ...

Scientists have uncovered a dedicated brain circuit that distinguishes between direct fear and fear learned by observing others—known as vicarious fear.

They used immunostaining to identify the direction of the cilia, or cell antennae, on the neurons in the postnatal layers of the mouse brain, such as the hippocampus and neocortex. They focused on ...
