Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report that extracellular vesicles released into the bloodstream during aerobic exercise can, on their own, drive a robust increase in adult ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study publishing February 12 in the Cell Press journal Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from ...

Dopamine neuron activity in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been implicated in Pavlovian conditioning but also in motivation and behavioral performance. To obtain further insight into the latter, ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

We developed CaliAli, a comprehensive suite designed to extract neuronal signals from one-photon calcium imaging data collected across multiple sessions in free-moving conditions in mice. CaliAli ...
