UO scientists have found brain cells needed for zebrafish to socialize, a discovery that could help establish the small fish as a model organism for advancing research on autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Autism | University of OregonUniversity of Oregon scientists researching the basics of how sound processing contributes to behavior have identified a portion of the brain, at least in mice, that integrates sound, action and reward expectation.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University of OregonUltrahigh resolution, high-speed imaging of fruit fly brains has allowed University of Oregon scientists to capture mechanical motions that stem cells use to make neurons, the cells that make up the brain.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University Research | University of OregonUsing high-resolution imaging and 3D computer modeling, a University of Oregon research team has found that the branching arms of neurons weave through space in a way that balances their need to connect to other neurons with the costs of doing so.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University Research | University of OregonNew research in mice sheds light on the seemingly random brain signals that hum in the background of brains. These signals might help the brain switch between states of inattention or disengagement and states of optimal performance, UO researchers reported.
