Mounting evidence suggests safety and efficacy of psychedelic compounds as potential
novel therapeutics in psychiatry. Ketamine has been approved by the Food and Drug …

Functions of the neocortex depend on its bidirectional communication with the thalamus, via
cortico-thalamo-cortical (CTC) loops. Recent work dissecting the synaptic connectivity in …

Neuronal cell types are the nodes of neural circuits that determine the flow of information
within the brain. Neuronal morphology, especially the shape of the axonal arbor, provides …

The basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebral cortex form an interconnected network implicated
in many neurological and psychiatric illnesses. A better understanding of cortico-subcortical …

The basal ganglia (BG) are critical for adaptive motor control, but the circuit principles
underlying their pathway-specific modulation of target regions are not well understood …

To infer the causes of its sensations, the brain must call on a generative (predictive) model.
This necessitates passing local messages between populations of neurons to update beliefs …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by two seemingly unrelated symptom
domains—deficits in social interactions and restrictive, repetitive patterns of behavioral …

Background Cognitive abilities, particularly memory, normally decline with age. However,
some individuals, often designated as superagers, can reach late life with the memory …

One key function of the brain is to control our body's movements, allowing us to interact with
the world around us. Yet, many motor behaviors are not innate but require learning through …

Dehydration (DEH) is believed to impair cognitive performance but which domains are
affected and at what magnitude of body mass loss (BML) remains unclear. PURPOSE: To …
