A team of biomedical researchers at the University of Oxford's Center for Neural Circuits and Behavior has discovered how dopaminergic systems in fruit flies can instill reward-seeking behaviors despite adverse consequences.
Neurons, the main cells that make up our brain and spinal cord, are among the slowest cells to regenerate after an injury, and many neurons fail to regenerate entirely. While scientists have made progress in understanding ...
