This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain, is now known to be ...

Background: Accurate axillary lymph node assessment is critical in breast cancer staging. This study aimed to evaluate whether ultrasound (US)-based measurements, particularly cortical thickness and ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically removing them along with tumors may weaken treatment, while preserving them ...

What if you could unlock the full power of automation without drowning in complexity? Imagine building workflows that feel intuitive yet handle everything from data processing to AI integration, all ...

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) generally has a good prognosis, with 5-year relative survival rates of 99% for regional cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. PTC is the most common type of thyroid ...

Lymph nodes are a key part of the human immune system, whose primary function is to combat infections. The effectiveness of vaccines is based on their ability to trigger events in lymph nodes that ...

Vaccines trigger a notably rapid response in the stromal cells of draining lymph nodes within the first hours after administration. Researchers at the University of Turku and the InFLAMES Flagship in ...

For the first time, a lab-grown brain-computer system has demonstrated that human neurons living and evolving in an artificial system respond to medication by learning, in real time, in a game-like ...
