For the first time, scientists have shown how heavy alcohol use leads to long-term cognitive impairments by damaging brain ...

Two independent research teams have achieved successful regeneration of mouse brain circuits by cultivating neurons from rat stem cells. Both studies, published in the journal Cell, provide ...

During a two-year carcinogenicity study on an agrochemical compound, histopathological evaluation showed necrosis and moderate inflammation in the brain of a female Wistar rat. The study was ...

weakening reward perception and memory signals in a key brain area called the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). In a rat study, diabetic animals still behaved normally but processed rewarding locations ...

Biomedical engineer Thomas DeMarse has “created a living 'brain' of cultured rat cells that now controls an F-22 fighter jet flight simulator” (Discovery Channel, USA, 22 October). DeMarse ...

Brain cells (magenta) in the reward center of a rat’s brain release dopamine in response to opioids. According to a new study by WashU Medicine researchers, male and female rats with a chronic ...

on hippocampal pyramidal neurons in newborn rat offspring and found that prenatal inflammation significantly impairs neuronal excitability. These changes in brain function may underlie the ...
