Computational modeling of light processing in the habenula and dorsal raphe based on laser ablation of functionally-defined cells
The habenula is a major regulator of serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe, and thus of brain state. The functional connectivity between these regions is incompletely characterized. Here, we use the ability... (Source: BMC Neuroscience)

Neuroscience of taste: unlocking the human taste code
Since antiquity human taste has been divided into 4 –5 taste qualities. We realized in the early 1970s that taste qualities vary between species and that the sense of taste in species closer to humans such as p... (Source: BMC Neuroscience)
