Researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center found that common dietary sugars fructose and glucose, despite having the same amount of calories, communicate with the brain through different ...

A study in zebrafish shows that neuronal microexons regulate brain activity by modulating cAMP signaling. Loss of these ...

Scientists tracking blind Mexican cavefish uncover a striking evolutionary reversal where existing brain circuits are rewired via dopamine to flip behavioral responses to light.

A new study found that fructose and glucose may look the same on a nutrition label, but the brain treats them very differently. In mice, glucose strongly reduced activity in hunger-promoting brain ...

Preclinical study showed iRECs Integrated into host vascular network and revascularized the ischemic eye, rescuing the tissue.
