Researchers from Skoltech and the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics have developed an approach that helps ...

The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories ...

Neurons that fire together, wire together” is not the full story. A novel mechanism explains how the brain can learn across ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously ...

Letter, Thiam discussed his research under Dr. Brett Morrison, a neurologist at the Hopkins School of Medicine focusing on ...

This is a potentially important study comparing infants (8 months) and adults with respect to rhythmic EEG response properties during periodic and aperiodic visual stimulation. The results provide ...

Scientists have long believed that electrical impulses and chemical signals tell the whole story of how the brain works. They might be wrong. For decades, our picture of the brain has been built on ...

In 1921, Otto Loewi woke from a dream with the idea for an experiment that proved nerves communicate using chemicals, not just electricity. By showing that stimulating one frog’s heart released a ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order processing. A foundational understanding of neuroanatomy and physiology is ...

A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...

The most common email messages I receive these days are obviously AI-generated pitches for guests to appear on my podcast. They all begin the same way, with a praising reference to one of my recent ...
