Hebrew University of Jerusalem and SUNY Stony Brook scientists discover linked chemicals in pre-clinical trials in mice, ...

Researchers discover a new dopamine signal in the striatum that acts as a guidance system, encoding trajectory errors to steer behavior toward goals.

Acetylcholine "conductors" in the striatum directly trigger serotonin release, offering new insights into the origins of OCD and chemical imbalances.

Scientists have uncovered a powerful strategy that the brain uses to coordinate chemical signaling. In a new study, ...

A new study provides insight on how the brain processes external input such as touch, vision or sound from different sources and sides of the body, in order to select and generate adequate movements.

Neuroscientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), University of Pennsylvania, and California State University, have established the existence of a biological difference ...

Using light to control the activity of a specific group of nerve cells, researchers have revealed a possible brain mechanism for responding to surprising or important cues. Changing our behavior based ...

Neuroscientists have provided clear visual evidence that a region of the human brain known as the ventral striatum kicks in during decision-making to weigh the costs versus the benefits of making a ...
