Chapman et al. generate a brain-wide atlas of supraspinal inputs to cervical V1 interneurons. Monosynaptic input arises from over two dozen brain regions, some of which…
Researchers have created a 3D atlas mapping brain regions that connect to V1 spinal interneurons, which shape motor output.
Researchers have linked chronic intestinal infections caused by cytomegalovirus (HCMV) to a unique subtype of Alzheimer’s disease.
Nature – A spatially resolved single-cell transcriptomics map of the mouse brain at different ages reveals signatures of ageing, rejuvenation and disease, including ageing effects…
INTRODUCTION We investigated whether early life exposure to state-level structural sexism influenced late-life memory trajectories among United Staes (U.S.) -born women and men and determined…
Women born in states with higher structural sexism experience faster memory decline later in life, with effects equivalent to nine years of cognitive aging.
