Faulty wiring of the prefrontal cortex during development leads to abnormal brain activity and cognitive impairments related to mental illness, according to a mouse study published in JNeurosci ...

The study was published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. Dzirasa's team studied the interaction between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex – two areas of the brain that ...

The study suggests that targeted brain stimulation could help bridge this gap. Academic learning has profound implications ...

AgRP neurons do not have strong direct connections to the cortex. But they do project to other brain regions that connect to the prefrontal cortex. Horvath and his colleagues found that the neurons in ...

This pioneering mouse research raises the possibility that someday, therapies designed to target the cerebro-cerebellar circuitry that connects the rCrus1 and vermis region of the cerebellum with ...

Fluoxetine, a commonly prescribed anti-depressive drug, induces a juvenile-like state in the mouse prefrontal cortex. Brain development and maturation has been thought to be a one-way process ...
