Researchers have identified a network of connections linking the brainstem and spinal cord that helps control hand and arm movements, revealing an unexpected layer of the nervous system enabling ...

Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium-chain fatty acids that impair vagal sensory signaling and hippocampal ...

In a series of experiments, researchers found that a communication pathway between the brain and the gut may be integral to how well the brain holds on to memories. The genesis for the study came ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Alzheimer's disease not only robs people of their memory but also affects mood, often causing anxiety and depression. Until now, scientists haven't fully understood how these symptoms are connected in ...

Schizophrenia risk may reflect two brain pathways with different cortical and subcortical balance. Early language learning ...

Exposure to a diet heavy in fats and sugars during early development primes the brain to overreact to unhealthy foods in ...

A new study finds a link between early eating and lifelong brain health, suggesting that consuming unhealthy foods during ...

In a groundbreaking study, a New York University Langone research team believes they have honed in on the brain pathways of a genetically determined repetitive motor behavior that is linked to autism.

Scientists found special brain connections in seals and sea lions that help control vocal sounds. This may explain how speech ...
