Imperial researchers will receive almost £15m in funding to embark on cutting edge research to help overcome neurodegenerative disease.The four Imperial-led projects are among 18 projects funded by ...

Starting from whole-brain probabilistic tractography, all streamlines through the SNc reaching the thalamus were counted, separately for each hemisphere, after excluding streamlines through the ...

Parkinson’s results from the death of key neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain ... and the movement affects sensory and motor circuits, he said. “When they dance, they are ...

Dopamine originates in various parts of the brain, such as the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental ... providing unmatched control over neural circuits. Looking forward, this technology ...

To win a race at Reims-Gueux, a driver needed patience. The 5.6-mile circuit was built on roads carving through the French countryside, in a roughly triangular shape. To have the edge, you needed ...

"Without the motor cortex properly coordinating movement, downstream neural circuits are left to spontaneously generate these problematic movements on their own." This new understanding of ...

Here, we review the neural circuit bases of habits, compulsions, and addictions, behaviors which are all characterized by relatively automatic action performance. We discuss relevant studies, ...

A flip-flop in digital electronics is a circuit with two stable states that can be used to store binary data. The stored data can be changed by applying varying inputs. Flip-flops and latches are ...

Movement disorders arise from the complex interplay of multiple changes to neural circuits. Successful treatments for these disorders could interact with these complex changes in myriad ways, and as a ...
