The visual system has limited capacity, and cannot process everything that falls onto the retina. Instead, the brain relies on attention to bring salient details into focus and filter out background clutter. Two recent studies have helped to unravel the…
A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study published in Nature Neuroscience now identifies, for the first time, hundreds of…

Stubbing your toe on a table leg or fracturing your wrist will probably make you wince in pain (and possibly curse). It’s a natural reaction; facial expressions play an important role in communicating the unpleasant sensory and emotional experience of…
Together, Dr. Zhang said, these results suggest GADD45g serves as a master regulator of reactive gliosis. Finding ways to control its activity could eventually improve outcomes for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Other UTSW researchers who contributed to this study are…

The research team, led by Eric A. Sosa and John M. Greally with collaborators including Cathal Seoighe and Melissa J. Fazzari, analyzed whole-genome sequencing data in which 709,222 de novo variants had been identified. They compared the genomic distributions and properties of these variants…
Cell metabolism is often thought of as the process of breaking down sugars to create energy, but the process also involves all the biosynthetic reactions necessary to sustain life. One of these... Dysregulated purine metabolism produces profound neurodevelopmental defects Cell…
Diffusion tensor tractography of twenty Human Connectome Project brains has yielded the first collective three-dimensional dissection of all six white matter tracts of the temporal stem, revealing the inferior fronto-occipital fascicle as its dominant component and highlighting wide variation in…
Answer by Fabian van den Berg, (Neuro)psychologist, on Quora: How does an electroencephalogram work? I’ll try to keep technical terms low so everyone can follow along and get a good idea what those caps do and what the lines…
