Generalized epilepsy has traditionally been considered a seizure of the "'whole brain.'" However, new research has challenged ...

Frederic L.W.V.J. Schaper, MD, PhD, director of Epilepsy Network Mapping at the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics at Brigham and Women's Hospital and an instructor of neurology at Harvard Medical ...

Then, the team mapped the circuits connected to each lesion using the human connectome, a large-scale wiring diagram of the human brain. They then identified which connections were common to ...

If you want to understand an electronic device, you can simply review its circuit diagram. But even if such diagrams existed for the brain, they would be of limited use in unraveling this organ ...

Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches, uncovering new ...

Motion sickness is a very common condition that affects about 1 in 3 people, but the brain circuits involved are largely unknown. In the current study published in Nature Metabolism, researchers at ...

However, researchers have lacked the tools for capturing the dynamics of circuit regeneration, interrogating functional recovery and manipulating neuronal function in the axolotl brain.

This indicates that pain and itch are processed by separate circuits, rather than a shared pathway. A method used to analyze synaptic connections between neurons, allowing researchers to trace sensory ...

Furthermore, because birdsong and human speech may rely on similarly organised brain circuits, this work may also pave the way to understanding more about how our brains support the learning and ...
