“Together, our findings show that retinal cell loss differentially impacts downstream neuronal circuits, suggesting that supplemental vision recovery therapies may need to target visual circuits ...

June 5, 2025 – Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have identified which brain circuits are vital for visual acuity and how they are affected by damaged retinal cells.

A study offers a glimpse of how the brain turns experience into emotion. In mice and humans, puffs of air to the eye caused persistent changes in brain activity, suggesting an emotional response.

A bevy of new research is throwing light on how the brain engages in self-destructive compulsive drug-seeking behaviour, and thus on the problem with characterising addiction as a moral failure.

In the study, participants with OUD showed difficulty enhancing positive emotions, as seen in weakened brain responses when they tried to savor images representing naturally rewarding objects and ...

An ongoing assessment of potentially harmful or beneficial stimuli is necessary for the well-being and self-preservation of all organisms. The relationship between these fundamental survival brain ...

Neuronal activity traces reveal how brain circuits evolve as mice learn a motor task. Left: example field of view recorded during behavior; each color marks a different neuron.

Brain researchers have identified a bridge between the thalamus and the cortex as the key area that is modified during motor learning functions. ... (and How) Brain Circuits Are Reshaped as We Learn ...
