The brain of humans and other animals is known to contribute to the protection of the body from infections. Past studies have unveiled the existence of the so-called conditioned immune response (CIR), ...

Here, we found that in dopamine receptor D3 (DRD3)-Cre mice [36], previously reported to express Cre in the LIPN cells, the Cre-expressing somata mainly reside in the lateral subregion of the LIPN ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from WPI-ASHBi, Kyoto University and National Institute for Physiological Sciences conducted experiments in macaque monkeys to explore how ...

Epithelium-to-mesenchyme transition (EMT) refers to the cellular program by which, through diverse scenarios, epithelial cells lose their compact, ordered organization to become individual, migrating ...

Scientists tracking blind Mexican cavefish uncover a striking evolutionary reversal where existing brain circuits are rewired via dopamine to flip behavioral responses to light.

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel mechanisms of pain disorders. “This is important groundbreaking work,” ...

The research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has presented a new therapeutic strategy that could improve the ...

Tinnitus is a common auditory perception disorder, and its pathological mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. In recent years, neuroinflammation has garnered widespread attention as a new ...
