In a groundbreaking study, a New York University Langone research team believes they have honed in on the brain pathways of a genetically determined repetitive motor behavior that is linked to autism.

In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...

Niigata, Japan – our movements are controlled by multiple neural pathways that connect the brain and spinal cord. In particular, neurons in the cerebral cortex send commands to the motor neurons in ...

A new study definitively reveals the existence of a system that had been theorized to clear metabolic wastes in the human brain. The study uses imaging in neurosurgery patients to show how brain's ...

Tufts University School of Medicine researchers developed imaging technology that records neuronal activity throughout the brain during the first weeks of recovery. They discovered that a head injury ...

MRI scans reveal frequent action gamers show measurable differences in brain structure, which may help explain links found in earlier studies between gaming, attention, and visuospatial skills. Study: ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests that ...
