The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

A single oral administration of astringent FLs stimulated the central nervous system, activating the hypothalamic coricotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons. The secreted CRH activated the ...

Understanding the dynamic neural mechanisms of sleep-wake cycles is a major challenge in sleep science and neuroengineering.
