The survival of an animal depends critically on the ability of the nervous system to detect and transform sensory stimuli into appropriate motor actions. In the presence of a looming aerial predator ...
The telencephalon of the mammalian brain contains multiple regions and circuits that have adaptive and integrative roles in a variety of brain functions. GABAergic neurons in the telencephalon are ...
The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
A new study from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience researchers may help explain an enduring mystery about ...
Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...
A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...
A team of neurologists, bioengineers and radiologists has found that two neurons in the human brain that code for dopamine production have to work harder than similar cells in primate relatives. The ...
Researchers have identified that the precisely timed transcription of two genes named grim and reaper is responsible for the targeted death of neurons within the developing nervous system of female ...
What did the very first complex vertebrate brain look like? To find out, scientists turned to an unlikely time traveler: the ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
