Researchers identify neurological pathways through which light affects mood and learning in mice.

A pair of mouse studies describes neuronal subpopulations not identified before and some of their functions.

Rosehip neurons are not found in rodents. Perhaps they offer clues about what separates our brains from those of other animals.

Distributed neuronal networks help the brain sort smells.

Using different combinations of transcription factors, researchers create a diverse array of neurons from mouse skin cells.

The flow of calcium and potassium ions keeps muscles contracting in the diaphragms of neonatal mice, but if a key protein receptor is missing, fatigue sets in more quickly.

A new study reveals more about the role of specialized Schwann cells at junctions between neurons and muscle cells.

The neuronal coverings that mediate synaptic changes are involved in everything from memory to psychiatric disorders, affecting autism, Alzheimer’s, and addiction.
