  • Gazing into the mind’s eye with mice – how neuroscientists are seeing human vision more clearly

    Gazing into the mind’s eye with mice – how neuroscientists are seeing human vision more clearly

    Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped researchers discover unprecedented details about how individual brain cells communicate and work together to create…

  • A multi-gene mouse model reveals new mechanisms of Hirschsprung disease

    A multi-gene mouse model reveals new mechanisms of Hirschsprung disease

    During development of the digestive system, a complex network of nerves forms around it, creating a “second brain” – the enteric nervous system (ENS) – which controls the movement of food and waste through the gut. But a combination…

    A stormy ocean voyage yields insights on the global carbon cycle

    Bites from billions of tiny mouths

    The team also looked at the fate of this marine snow as it sank beyond the ocean surface, at depths between 200 and 500 meters. They found that the number of particles smaller than 0.5 mm roughly doubled over…

    Study identifies molecular drivers of cerebral small vessel disease

    A new study identifies molecular factors that promote small vessel disease – and an active drug that can restore impaired vascular functions.

    Researchers at the LMU University Hospital have uncovered how diseases of the brain’s…
