Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report that extracellular vesicles released into the bloodstream during aerobic exercise can, on their own, drive a robust increase in adult ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study publishing February 12 in the Cell Press journal Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from ...

Dopamine neuron activity in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been implicated in Pavlovian conditioning but also in motivation and behavioral performance. To obtain further insight into the latter, ...

Spasticity is defined as the velocity-dependent hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex that develops after a central nervous system injury. Spasticity is caused by plastic neuronal changes following ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

Orange-arrow loop: Intracranial electrophysiological data are captured by macro-microelectrodes from the subject’s brain and streamed to the data acquisition device and a host computer, where the data ...

A new breakthrough technology, co-developed by UCL scientists, that simultaneously records and manipulates neuron activity deep within the brain could transform our understanding of neural circuits ...
