The mammalian nervous system is comprised of a seemingly infinitely complex network of
specialized synaptic connections that coordinate the flow of information through it. The field …

The cerebellum is involved in many motor, autonomic and cognitive functions, and new
tasks that have a cerebellar contribution are discovered on a regular basis. Simultaneously …

Neural communication networks form the fundamental basis for brain function. These
communication networks are enabled by emitted ligands such as neurotransmitters, which …

Animals can choose to act upon, or to ignore, sensory stimuli, depending on circumstance
and prior knowledge. This flexibility is thought to depend on neural inhibition, through …

The recent advent of human pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived 3D brain organoids has
opened a window into aspects of human brain development that were not accessible before …

Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived retinal organoids (ROs) can efficiently and
reproducibly generate retinal neurons that have potential for use in cell replacement …

Neural circuits provide an anatomical basis for functional networks. Therefore, dissecting the
structure of neural circuits is essential to understanding how the brain works. Recombinant …

Myricetin, a polyhydroxyflavone compound, is one of the main ingredients of various human
foods and therefore also known as dietary flavonoids. Due to the continuous emergence of …

Memory formation and storage rely on multiple interconnected brain areas, the contribution
of which varies during memory consolidation. The medial prefrontal cortex, in particular the …

To understand how sleep-wakefulness cycles are regulated, it is essential to disentangle
structural and functional relationships between the preoptic area (POA) and lateral …
