Stationed within the meninges, squads of immune cells lie in wait, ready to unleash an inflammatory assault within the brain if needed. Holding these trigger-happy troops back during peacetime falls ...

The ECoG probe is placed on the cerebral cortex. Then, the mouse is moved under the objective lens of a microscope. It can only image neurons in the superficial layer or isolated tissues of the brain ...

By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a small, elusive, and often overlooked cellular appendage.

This well-designed study provides important findings concerning the way the brain encodes prediction about self-generated sensory inputs. The authors report that neurons in auditory cortex respond ...

The default mode network (DMN) is a set of interconnected brain regions known to be most active when humans are awake but not ...

Mount SInai researchers identified the cortical amygdala – an olfactory cortical structure – as a key brain region in ...

Here, we examine the functional architecture of the mouse PPC and surrounding cortical areas using calcium imaging with a large field-of-view two-photon microscope 16 during head-fixed behavior in ...

Could it be possible that someone is a better reader because of their brain anatomy? A study published ... Learning a new language can help increase cortical thickness. Cortical thickness affects ...

the response weakens activity of the brain’s decision-making center in the prefrontal cortex. Overcoming addiction usually entails not just stopping use of a substance but also discovering or ...

Objectives/methods Using a specially designed functional MRI (fMRI) cycling ergometer, we have determined the sequence in which the cortical and subcortical brain regions are modulated at low and high ...
