Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one ...

Astrocytes in the cerebellum trigger a shift in GABA signaling during late adolescence, enabling adult-level motor coordination.

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...

Researchers develop TRFS, a non-invasive radio frequency technique that can suppress or excite deep-brain activity to treat depression, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s.

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a previously underappreciated role in the maturation of coordinated movement. A ...

As a neuromodulator, norepinephrine is a powerful force in the brain. We all know it orchestrates rapid changes in behavior such as the fight-or-flight response. Fewer people know that astrocytes ...

A wave of recent neuroscience research has identified specific molecular and cellular mechanisms through which alcohol disrupts signaling between brain cells, offering a sharper picture of how ...

Researchers have identified a mechanism by which acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter best known for its role in muscle control ...
