Kagoshima University elucidates the neural circuit that controls itch and pain in opposite directions
A joint research group at Kagoshima University Graduate School has succeeded in controlling itch and pain in the opposite direction through experiments using optogenetic techniques and itch/pain model mice.
Nagoya University discovers that the brain's neural circuits for escaping from heat and cold are different
A research group led by Takaki Yahiro, a graduate student at the Graduate School of Nagoya University, is investigating the brain […]
It is necessary to "eat" extra synapses for the maturation of brain nerve cells Nagoya City University, etc.
Newly born neurons (nerve cells) in the adult brain form a neural circuit by connecting with other neurons by a structure called synapses […]
"Glia switch" that induces misconnection of neural circuits and causes chronic pain
A research group at the University of Yamanashi has clarified the mechanism by which neuropathic pain develops and its "switch."
University of Tsukuba discovered a neural circuit that causes hibernation, to realize artificial hibernation
A research group led by Professor Takeshi Sakurai of the University of Tsukuba has collaborated with RIKEN to induce a new neural cycle that can induce mice to resemble hibernation […].
Neural circuit of "mind-body correlation" that connects the mind and body Nagoya University elucidates
From the cerebral cortex, which processes psychology and emotions, to the hypothalamus, which regulates the body, the "neurotransmission pathway of psychosomatic correlation" that transmits stress signals in the brain is Nagoya […]
Keio University Discovers New Nucleus Where Multiple Monoamines in the Brain Accumulate
