New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

Nicotine withdrawal induces behavioral symptoms such as tremors and shaking. Suppressing striatal cholinergic interneurons or administering the muscarinic antagonist Procyclidine significantly reduces ...

A research team led by Prof. HU Li at the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has revealed that parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) ...

Inhibiting an overabundant enzyme saved a key component of a brain signaling pathway that is vital for motor control in a new mouse study, bolstering the prospects for the biotechs currently targeting ...

Miniature models of the brain have revealed a "previously unappreciated" role of microglia, a type of cell found within the organ. The finding could help unpack how disorders such as autism arise.

In the first comprehensive, cell-by-cell analysis of brain tissue from individuals with Tourette syndrome, researchers have pinpointed exactly which cells are perturbed and how they malfunction, ...
