This allows us to map and compare the neurons carrying reward-related memories for one drug with the neurons associated with another drug. In this way, we can study how the brain represents and stores ...

Using brain gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the researchers tested the degree to which Alzheimer’s risk genes explain the patterns of both actual and residual tau. This allowed ...
