A new study on mice reveals that the brain’s response to rewards is temporarily suppressed after the first dose of citalopram, an antidepressant, but gradually returns with continued use. The findings ...

This important study reports single-nucleus multiomics-based profiling of transcriptome and chromatin accessibility of mouse XX and XY primordial germ cells (PGCs). The main conclusions of this study, ...

The research, published today in Nature, outlines how scientists at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL studied a midbrain area called the median raphe nucleus (MRN) in mice. They tested the ...

The findings are reported in Nature today 1. “It’s quite remarkable that manipulation of specific neural subtypes in the median raphe nucleus mediates certain strategic behaviours,” says ...

For example, very low activity of serotonergic neurons, specifically in the median raphe nucleus, could contribute to a depressive phenotype," says Hofer. "This is interesting as most of the more ...

In a surprising turn of events, an international team of scientists has found that lead-208 (208 Pb), the heaviest known "doubly magic" nucleus, exhibits unexpected shape characteristics that ...

Here we review experiments focused on delineating dopamine signaling in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, nucleus accumbens, and dorsal striatum to mediate a range of biological rhythms including ...
