A new study published in Nature Neuroscience has identified a brain circuit in mice that overrides basic needs like hunger or ...

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the cerbrum contains less than 20 percent of the neurons in our brain. Eighty ...

In animals, lateral hypothalamic lesions produce anorexia while VMN lesions produce hyperphagia. [29–33] In that context, more recent studies have demonstrated that appetite reflects the ...

Among the neurons of the perifornical lateral hypothalamus, 53% increase their firing rates during both wakefulness and REM sleep, but decrease their activities during slow-wave sleep 102.

Your mental image of your brain probably looks something like what's pictured here. The cerebrum, shown here, is where all the really important stuff is supposed to happen in humans: consciousness ...

This useful study employs optogenetics, genetically-encoded dopamine and serotonin sensors, and patch-clamp electrophysiology to investigate modulations of neurotransmitter release between striatal ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

The limbic system is defined as the brain networking system responsible for controlling emotional drives and memory formation.
