Understanding how the human brain stores information and later uses it to complete various tasks has been a long-standing goal of neuroscience and psychology research. Past studies have identified ...
Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...
A new study suggests that the long-term antidepressant effects of psychedelics may be driven by persistent changes in how ...
For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...
To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...
Researchers at the University of Southern California have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the human brain forms, stores and recalls visual memories. A new study, published in ...
How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...
The Arctic ground squirrel survives conditions that would cause irreparable brain damage in almost any other mammal on the ...
