CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these ...

A mouse watched YouTube. Then scientists mapped a tiny piece of its brain. Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project.

DA receptors 1 (DR1) and DR2 are located near cannabinoid receptors 1 (CB1) in the brain, which are involved in appetite regulation. Through this association, HFDs influence the striatum and ...
