Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.
Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.
For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...
Through a recent notice, the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has ...
A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin recently received support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to ...
A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...
Encapsulated microbubbles (EMBs), tiny gas-filled bubbles coated in lipid or protein shells, play a central role in ...
A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...
USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...
This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.
Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutations were among the first genetic causes identified in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and confer a toxic gain-of-function that drives motor neuron ...
