A groundbreaking brain atlas maps nearly 680,000 cells to reveal how the human brain develops at the single-cell level. The discovery could transform Parkinson’s research by setting new standards for ...

Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...

Dopamine neurons in the midbrain are involved in higher cognitive functions in addition to their role in the reward system Figure 1: A computer illustration of a dopamine neuron. RIKEN researchers ...

Strolling around or running to catch the train similarly requires us to move. However, the neuronal mechanisms in the brain that allow us to initiate and control these movements are different, a new ...

Dopamine neurons in the midbrain may, with aging, be increasingly susceptible to a vicious spiral of decline driven by fuel shortages, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine (NY, USA) ...

Dopamine neurons in a part of the brain called the midbrain may, with aging, be increasingly susceptible to a vicious spiral of decline driven by fuel shortages, according to a study led by Weill ...

A previously under-investigated midbrain region called the superior colliculus (SC) may play a vital role in the ability to pay attention, according to a new study by neuroscientists at the Indian ...

A 68 year-old woman was admitted with complaints of nausea, vomiting and right sided weakness. Within four hours, she was quadriplegic and could not speak. However, she could look up on command. An ...
