In the first comprehensive, cell-by-cell analysis of brain tissue from individuals with Tourette syndrome, researchers have ...

Some adult neurons have projections that are amazingly long – thousands of times the length of their cell bodies in some cases. This means that during development, the growing cells need to be able to ...

A new Drosophila collection of Parkinsonism models reveals early synaptic cholinergic projection neuron dysfunction, linking synaptic failure to later dopaminergic decline, highlighting a role for ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

Connectivity mapping revealed a streamlined architecture: nearly 50,000 local neurons feed into 4,500 projection neurons, which transmit visual information to the central brain through 352 distinct ...

A new study provides insights into Tourette syndrome by analyzing individual brain cells. Researchers found key changes, ...

In the study, researchers based at McGill University in Canada mimicked nerve injury in 8 to 12-week-old mice and then collected what are known as projection neurons, which transmit signals to distant ...

Neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's involve progressive neuronal loss due to ...

In examining the distribution of related cell types across structures, the researchers found that projection neurons — which send long-range connections elsewhere in the brain — are more ...

My initial hypothesis was that the nucleus accumbens projection MCH neurons would drive strong baseline food intake, but that did not end up being the case.” Interestingly, the researchers also ...

Their findings suggest HVC is organised into highly structured neural modules that contain both projection neurons and inhibitory interneurons, working together in tightly connected networks.
