Astrocytes, non-neuronal brain cells, have been shown to work alongside neurons to store and recall memories, reshaping our ...

The findings reveal that BNC2 neurons, when activated by leptin and possibly other signals, not only suppress appetite but also alleviate the negative feelings associated with hunger. Remarkably, ...

Now, researchers have identified the neural circuit that triggers characteristic ‘wet dog’ shaking behaviour in mice — which ...
