Researchers discover a gut-brain-heart axis where the bacterial metabolite IAA regulates hypocretin neurons to control heart stiffness and blood pressure.

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...

Researchers identify a neural circuit in the lateral hypothalamus that suppresses itch during acute stress, offering new insights into chronic itch management.

Research findings are available online in the journal Nature Metabolism. The original story “ Sweating may naturally suppress ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have mapped a neural circuit in the brain involved in the complex relationship between itch and stress. Their findings, published in Cell Reports, ...

In October 2023, Neuroscience News reported research showing that the hippocampus does much more than store memories. Drawing ...

Researchers found that astrocytes in the amygdala actively encode, maintain, and extinguish fear memories. Altering their ...

Memories are thought to be stored in sparse groups of neurons called engrams. These are the cells that switch on during learning and can later switch on again during recall. In physiological aging and ...

Research by a team of scientists from Cologne, Munich and Mainz has shown an unprecedented degree of connectivity reorganization in newly-generated hippocampal neurons in response to experience, ...
