Neuropsychology researchers at LMU have discovered a rhythm in the midbrain that could serve as a biophysiological signature ...

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 ...

Sometimes hundreds of thousands of potential therapeutics need to be tested in large-scale, fully automated experiments to identify a single effective drug. Most compounds do not work as desired, and ...

Neuropsychology researchers at LMU have discovered a rhythm in the midbrain that could serve as a bio-physiological signature for specific states of consciousness. The thalamus is a deep-lying ...

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 ...

The study provides the most detailed spatiotemporal profile to date of early human midbrain development, offering a powerful new reference for neuroscience and regenerative medicine. The midbrain is ...

Serotonergic neurons in the medulla are central respiratory chemoreceptors. Here we show that serotonergic neurons in the midbrain of rats are also highly chemosensitive to small changes in CO 2 /pH ...

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 ...

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 ...
