By scanning the brains of mice throughout their lifespans, scientists at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute and the University of Texas at Dallas have discovered that the human brain is not unique in how ...

Researchers found that very small numbers of gut bacteria can translocate to the brain in mice, particularly when gut barrier permeability increases due to a Paigen diet. Evidence suggests the vagus ...

The vagus nerve is a direct link between the gut and brain. Scientists have now used a mouse model to show that changes in ...

Anxiety disorders are some of the most common mental health conditions in America, affecting about one in five people nationwide. But much remains unknown about the roots of anxiety in the brain. Now, ...

A team of researchers in Germany has restored electrical activity in mouse brain tissue after storing it in a glass-like ...

A team in Germany has shown that mouse brain tissue can regain measurable signs of activity after being preserved in a glass-like state at extremely low temperatures and then thawed. The work marks a ...

While such advances bring with them a breadth of knowledge, the immense complexity of the datasets makes it challenging for scientists to analyze them using current computational methods. Now, ...

Mice turning tiny steering wheels to move shapes on a screen have helped scientists produce the first brain-wide map of decision-making at single-cell resolution in a mammal. For decades, most ...
