Manipulating the activity of a subpopulation of external globus pallidus neurons with optogenetic deep brain stimulation ameliorates motor deficits in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. The neural ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Columbia University and the University of San Francisco, have uncovered a previously ...

Astrocytes are important regulatory elements in brain function. They respond to neurotransmitters and release gliotransmitters that modulate synaptic transmission. However, the cell- and ...

A new study of songbirds may reveal how people learn complex behaviors, including speech, suggests a new report. The explanation for how people learn complex behaviors, such as speech, might be found ...

What neuronal networks are responsible for controlling the movements we make? How does the brain progress from the decision to make a movement to the action of making the movement? The basal ganglia ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement-they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers at the University of ...

When you throw a wild pitch or sing a flat note, it could be that your basal ganglia made you do it. This area in the middle of the brain is involved in motor control and learning. And one reason for ...
