Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have identified in a preclinical model a specific brain circuit whose inhibition appears to reduce anxiety without side effects.

The work is published in the journal Neuron. More information: Petra Mocellin et al, A septal-ventral tegmental area circuit ...

Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...

The scientific focus of the Institute is on circuits, or networks of interacting parts, including molecules in a neuron, neurons in a local circuit and local circuits in larger brain systems.

This previously unappreciated "coincidence detection circuit" highlights that the interplay of these opposing pathways ensures proper neuronal migration. Solecki used super-resolution microscopy ...

David Solecki, PhD, St. Jude Department of Developmental Neurobiology identified a “coincidence detection circuit” responsible for the migration of mature neuronal cells from the germinal zone ...
