Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...

Mayo Clinic's Translational Neuromuscular Disease Research Lab led by Nathan P. Staff, M.D., Ph.D., studies the biological ...

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations.

This work was supported by grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos. 82471497, 82311530117, and ...

Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

Researchers have developed a molecular "light switch" for the so-called love hormone oxytocin, offering new insights into how ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...

This valuable work identifies a subpopulation of neurons in the larval zebrafish pallium that responds differentially to varying threat levels, potentially mediating the categorization of negative ...

Zebrafish, photographed with confocal microscope. The brain region that controls eye movement is structurally similar in fish and mammals, but the zebrafish system contains only 500 neurons, making it ...
