Buffalo, N.Y. -- Chronic exposure to cocaine reduces the expression of a protein known to regulate brain plasticity, according to new, in vivo research on the molecular basis of cocaine addiction.

Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions is ...

A new study from UNC School of Medicine researchers, published this week in Neuron, reveals a unique look at how junk food rewires the brain's memory hub—leading to risk of cognitive dysfunction. This ...
