Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of ...

Open the Youtube video Neuroscientists have successfully reconstructed moving images directly from the brain activity of mice ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sents between neurons -- specialized cells ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Ever wondered how your brain stacks up against a computer? A recent study revealed just how many bits of data the human brain can process per second. A new study from the ...

How do we make decisions? Or rather, how do our neurons make decisions for us? Do individual neurons have a strong say or is the voice in the neural collective? One way to think about this question is ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

Researchers discover the SELK neuron, a single-cell decision-maker in fruit flies that weighs sweet vs. bitter signals to determine whether to eat or flee.

In a recent study published in Current Biology01156-4), researchers uncovered how the human brain processes the concept of zero, revealing that specific neurons in the medial temporal lobe treat zero ...
