Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...

Scientists reveal how sleep, especially naps, boosts motor learning after TBI, offering new insights into brain activity and rehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery outcomes. New research ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

When we learn a new motor skill-whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking-the brain must reorganize the circuits that ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

During the acquisition of correct rejection response, rankings of functional connection separated for cortical and subcortical regions, which is predictive of the peak timing of visual information ...

New neuroscience research reveals how our brains evolve through key life stages, highlighting the hidden strengths of aging.

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...
