A first view of real-life memories "on the scale of our lives"

Discovery provides new tool for understanding and treating neurodegenerative diseases

Researchers report on a version of genetic parental control in mice that is more targeted, and subtle than canonical imprinting

Funds will help support research into brain and spinal cord injuries, as well as the "wasting away" experienced by those with AIDS and other diseases.

Researchers identify neural signature of tunnel vision

Researchers find markers in the blood to identify women most likely to develop the condition. 

Increasing the levels of a signaling molecule found in the brain can positively alter response to stress, revealing a potential new therapeutic target for treatment of depression, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers said.

Cognitive scientists have come to view the brain as a prediction machine, constantly comparing what is happening around us to expectations based on experience — and considering what should happen next.

When it comes to developing efficient, robust networks, the brain may often know best.

High-fat feeding can cause impairments in the functioning of the mesolimbic dopamine system, says Stephanie Fulton of the University of Montreal and the CHUM Research Centre (CRCHUM.) This system is a critical brain pathway controlling motivation. Fulton's findings, published recently in Neuropsychopharmacology, may have great health implications.
