A team of chemical and biological engineers at Seoul National University in the Republic of Korea has developed a proof-of-concept device that could one day lead to the creation of an artificial nose.

Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...

A research team led by Hiroshima University and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology have proposed a neuroendocrine mechanism in bony fish that signals ovulation from the ovaries to the ...

Treating Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions has been challenging due to a lack of tools capable of navigating the complexity of neural circuits. New precision tools like DART.2 help make ...

Psilocybin—the psychedelic compound that occurs naturally in certain "magic" mushroom species—has been shown in trials to provide long-term treatment for depression and anxiety. But the chemical's ...

Researchers simulated interactions between microbial molecules and neural receptors to explore whether gut bacteria might influence brain chemistry. To study possible interactions between receptors ...

Scientists led by Juan Lerma from the Institute of Neuroscience in Spain have identified a specific neural circuit in the ...

Scientists in Japan have created powerful new vitamin K-based compounds that may help the brain regenerate lost neurons — a breakthrough that could one day change how diseases like Alzheimer’s and ...

Also known as CN1, the olfactory nerve is the first of 12 cranial nerves located within the head. It relays sensory data to the brain, and it is responsible for the sense of smell. The nerve’s ...
