Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

In experiments with healthy volunteers undergoing functional MRI imaging, scientists have found increased activity in two ...

How does your brain instantly know how to move through new places? A new study helps explain the science behind your internal ...

The small grooves on the surface of our brain may play a key role in our reasoning. A recent study reveals that their depth ...

The dopamine clock: How your brain predicts when you'll feel good By crossing AI and neuroscience, a team from UNIGE, Harvard and McGill has revealed the computational potential of a brain area at ...

"Brain cortical morphology, indexed by its surface area and thickness, is known to be highly heritable," wrote Bochao Danae Lin, Yunzhi Li and their colleagues in their paper. "Previous research ...

Mark Wu at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland and his colleagues mapped brain pathways in mice that are involved in sleep by injecting a tracer into 11 brain areas known to induce sleep. The ...

And deep in the brain, the basolateral amygdala is helping us do that calculus. Are you a scientist who specializes in neuroscience, cognitive science or psychology?

A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

Here we use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to demonstrate that an area in human cortex responds selectively to components of optic flow, such as circular and radial motion.

To this end, they have compared cortical brain samples from Alzheimer's disease patients -provided by the University of Irvine (California)- to samples from transgenic models, showing that the ...
