By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a ...

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a key molecule involved in inflammation and plays an important role in both healthy and diseased ...

A comprehensive study mapped neuronal IL-1R1 (nIL-1R1) expression in the mouse brain, highlighting its role in sensory ...

Neuroscientists have identified that the receptor IL-1R1 plays a critical role in enabling neurons to directly communicate with the immune system. The new study provides the most detailed mapping of ...

New research reveals how smell and hearing interact in the brain to drive social behavior, using mouse maternal instincts as ...

The team used the MouseGoggles while examining two key areas of the brain. Scans of the visual cortex helped to confirm the goggles form sharp images on the mouse's retinas, and the hippocampus ...

He and his coauthors investigated more than 1,500 dendritic spines, imaged fatty sheaths that insulate mouse nerve cells, highlighted all of the dopaminergic neurons, and counted all the synapses ...

Researchers have found that smell and sound signals merge in the mouse brain's hearing center, influencing social behaviors like pup retrieval. The discovery may lead to a better understanding of how ...

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by ...

High-resolution blood oxygen level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging enables brain-wide mapping of activated regions during sensory stimulation in awake mice, including associated areas, ...
