A new MRI marker showed high accuracy for progressive supranuclear palsy diagnosis across international cohorts. Find out more.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (currently in the process of being established) have revealed the precise connections between sensory ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

SINGAPORE -- Scientists in Singapore claim to have successfully grown functioning midbrain tissue -- a feat that may bring researchers a step closer to finding a cure for brain diseases like Parkinson ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – For talkative midshipman fish – sometimes called the “California singing fish” – the midbrain plays a robust role in initiating and patterning of sounds used in vocal communication. The ...

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 ...
