Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The ...

Male and female mice both prefer social interaction with female mice under normal conditions, but both switch to preferring males when their survival is threatened, according to a new study by Anqi ...

Adam Nelson, a principal investigator in the UW Department of Zoology and Physiology, led a study that used mice to show that social hierarchy involves status-dependent behavioral interactions that ...

A brain circuit involving leptin allows mice to carry out vital behaviors, such as eating and sleeping, during anxious episodes. A study led by researchers at the University of Cologne and University ...

Whether it is a Friday-night drink with friends, a quiet glass of wine to unwind after a long day, or as a wedding toast, alcohol has woven itself into celebration, comfort, and routine. This ...

Zebrafish, photographed with confocal microscope. The brain region that controls eye movement is structurally similar in fish and mammals, but the zebrafish system contains only 500 neurons, making it ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...
