Congenital aniridia is a rare disease caused, in most cases, by mutations in the PAX6 gene, which is essential for the development of ocular structures.

Discover why we stop scratching. Researchers identify spinal cord neurons that signal when an itch is satisfied, offering hope for new chronic itch treatments.

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...
