Scientists map prominent differences in the neural circuits of mice, monkeys, and human. The analysis of the human brain is a central goal of neuroscience. However, for methodological reasons, ...

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) secreted from sensory neuron-interneuron crosstalk is key to the spreading of inflammation across joints, acting as a neurotransmitter and inflammation enhancer. Adenosine ...

The mouse brain has served as a workhorse for the study of synaptic circuits and connectomics. However, the human cerebral cortex houses 1,000 times more neurons than that of a mouse. And the ...

Brain development is a carefully choreographed dance. Neurons develop specialized functions and, in small hops, move through the brain to get into the correct position. The chemical signals coursing ...

Dravet syndrome (DS) is a rare and severe form of epilepsy that causes intellectual disability and motor deficits and can lead to premature death. A loss-of-function mutation in one copy of SCN1A, ...

The analysis of the human brain is a central goal of neuroscience. However, for methodological reasons, research has largely focused on model organisms, in particular the mouse. Now, neuroscientists ...
