Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...

For the first time, neuroscientists from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (currently in the process of being established) have revealed the ...

Scientists are leveraging cutting-edge organoid technology to uncover the causes of Parkinson's and accelerate the development of new treatments. Study: Human midbrain organoids: a powerful tool for ...

The mesencephalic locomotor region, which is part of the midbrain, is involved in regulating walking and other forms of locomotion in many animal species. But the function of neurons in this area of ...

A 78 year-old woman developed the abrupt onset of a right third nerve palsy and a left hemiparesis. Sensation was intact. Midbrain Infarction: ((Left) Flair axial MRI; (Right) Diffusion-weighted MRI.

Neural organoids derived from patient-specific iPSC lines can help open doors toward studying human brain development, physiology, and disease progression. The increased cell-cell interactions in ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – For talkative midshipman fish – sometimes called the “California singing fish” – the midbrain plays a robust role in initiating and patterning of sounds used in vocal communication. The ...

A new study on mice reveals how a specific brain circuit helps them learn when a perceived threat is not a real danger, adjusting their defensive reactions over time. The research identifies the ...

For talkative midshipman fish -- sometimes called the 'California singing fish' -- the midbrain plays a robust role in initiating and patterning of sounds used in vocal communication. For talkative ...
