The project entails preparing and analyzing Nissl and immunostained sections through the human brainstem. Tissue has been obtained from the Witelson Normal Brain Collection. Structures to be analyzed ...

Newly identified neurons process multiple food cues to determine when an animal should stop eating, offering new clues into ...

Recent research from Columbia University has uncovered specialized neurons in the brainstem that seem to act as the final ...

GABAergic neurons are the main inhibitory neurons in the brain, including the brainstem. Functionally diverse and important GABAergic neurons are located in the brainstem, both within and outside the ...

The neurons identified by the Columbia scientists, a new element of these circuits, are located in the brainstem, the oldest part of the vertebrate brain. Their discovery could lead to new ...

A University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine-led study published in Nature Neuroscience sheds new light on these big questions, ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. In a mouse model, the researchers identified a group of neurons in the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract (cNST), a brainstem region that is a ...

In particular, we study the gene regulatory cascades establishing distinct neuronal identities. Information on brainstem neurons, and their subtypes, is essential for understanding the function of the ...

The study of Gallopin et al. indicates that brainstem wake-promoting cells feed back on VLPO sleep-promoting neurons, establishing what seems to be a reciprocal network 3.Using intracellular ...
