Locally connected "interneurons" are an integral part of the cortical circuit, reciprocally linking cortical neurons. Long-range "projection neurons," on the other hand, primarily populate ...

New research shows that the neural circuit responsible for stabilising gaze can develop in the absence of motor neurons, contrary to a long-standing model in the field.

This important paper takes a novel approach to the problem of automatically reconstructing long-range axonal projections from stacks of images. The key innovation is to separate the identification of ...

Researchers uncover a link between impaired glutathione–ascorbate metabolism and early dopamine increases in Huntington's ...

Researchers have identified a crucial biochemical mechanism that could allow Huntington’s disease to be studied before symptoms appear, offering hope for early intervention.

using gene-editing techniques—CRISPR-Cas9—were able to modulate their expression in neurons with projections into the spinal ...
