Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

How do the circuits of the human brain work—and what happens when they are disrupted? To investigate these questions, ...

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections (synapses) sending out the right amount of their chemical signals at the ...

Research has shown that a brain circuit involving leptin helps mice execute vital behaviors even when anxious.

What neural and behavioral mechanisms allow mice to identify food sources, navigate toward them, and initiate consumption? A research team led by Prof. Zhang Yunfeng from the Institute of Zoology of ...
