Brain-Body Links in Emotion and Health
Summary: Researchers have developed D-PSCAN, a novel imaging technique that enables high-resolution, minimally invasive observation of the brainstem’s nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) in living animals. The NTS, a vital relay…
A New Window into Neural Dynamics
Summary: Researchers have developed a groundbreaking “nanosheet incorporated into light-curable resin” (NIRE) method, enabling unprecedented large-scale and long-term observation of neuronal activity in awake mice. This innovative technique utilizes fluoropolymer…
Rewiring the Brain: The Neural Code of Traumatic Memories
Summary: Unveiling the neurological enigma of traumatic memory formation, researchers harnessed innovative optical and machine-learning methodologies to decode the brain’s neuronal networks engaged during trauma memory creation. The team identified…
