Why do we sometimes keep eating even when we're full and other times turn down food completely? Why do we crave salty things ...

Neural circuits in the brain are highly sophisticated biological systems, orchestrating ultra-fast, parallel computations ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Recently, there has been convergence of thought by researchers in the fields of memory, perception, and neurology that the ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

New research from the University of St Andrews, the University of Copenhagen and Drexel University has developed AI computational models that predict the degeneration of neural networks in amyotrophic ...

Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn and the University of Bonn are reconstructing neural networks in the laboratory and investigating new mechanisms of signal transmission in the brain ...

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections (synapses) sending out the right amount of their chemical signals at the ...

Brain stimulation might sound like some Frankensteinian demonstration from a Victorian science fair. But in reality, it is a contemporary technique making a huge impact in neuroscience by addressing a ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. William A. Haseltine, Ph.D., covers genomics and regenerative medicine A recent study from Cell inches us closer to understanding ...
