New research in The American Journal of Pathology has identified neuroinflammation, driven by microglia (immune cells), as a ...

The human brain is remarkably adept at adjusting what we hear based on contexts, like our current environment or priorities, but it's still unknown how exactly the brain helps us detect, filter and ...

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is critical to identifying task structure and to generalizing appropriately across task states with similar underlying or hidden causes. This capability is at the heart ...

Researchers have found a unique molecular signature and genes in the orbitofrontal cortex associated with heroin-seeking behavior. A preclinical rodent model implicated a gene called Shisa7 as the key ...

Study reveals how aging accelerates molecular changes in the brain, offering new hope for tackling cognitive decline and mental illness. Resource: Single-nucleus transcriptomic profiling of human ...

New research has identified that neuroinflammation driven by microglia (immune cells in the brain) is a primary underlying ...
