Everyone has experienced a change in their pace and depth of breathing in an anxious or painful situation. Yet, the neural circuitry between this tight physiological coordination was not clear. A team ...

The long-term goals of this project are to investigate the organization of spinal respiratory circuits, evaluate conditions for activation of breathing by stimulation of limb muscle afferents in ...

The Computational Neuroscience Center at Drexel’s Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy brings together a group of computational and experimental researchers with a common interest to understand ...

Patch-Seq is shorthand for “patch-clamp, followed by next-generation sequencing.” It’s a collaborative procedure that’s only been performed in a few labs. Christopher Del Negro says there’s a good ...

Researchers at the Salk Institute have discovered a brain pathway that connects the frontal cortex to the brainstem, offering potential therapeutic targets for anxiety, panic, and PTSD. Study: A ...

When humans and other animals are in a calm state, they tend to breathe slower, and their heartbeat also slows down. Contrarily, when they are exercising or under psychological stress, both their ...

Fiber-optic technology revolutionized the telecommunications industry and may soon do the same for brain research.
