According to a new study, humans can use nonverbal vocal cues, including roars, to judge the physical formidability of others.
The XDREAM generative deep neural network utilizes firing rates of neurons in the visual cortex to guide the evolution of a novel, synthetic image. The evolved images activate neurons more than large numbers of natural images.
A new study reports Japanese people with autism and schizophrenia have overlapping CNVs.
A cerebral organoid allows researchers to detect dynamic changes in calcium ion activity and visualize comprehensive cell activities.
Researchers use neuroimaging to identify brain patters associated with feelings of empathy that are predictable and consistent across individuals.
Neurons in the brains of birds are more energy efficient than in mammalian brains.
Rehearsing positive versions of frequent nightmares before sleep and playing noises associated with positive daytime experiences during sleep helps reduce nightmare frequency, a new study reports.
Upon eating, dopamine is released in the brain at two different times, during ingestion and when the food reaches our stomach, researchers report.
Cholesterol-lowering statins show promise for the treatment of severe coronavirus infections. Statins lowered the death rate and decreased the need for mechanical ventilation in patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19.
Researchers report obesity may be a result of reduced activity in the prefrontal cortex, which can influence self control and predispose a person to overeating.
A new study reveals a defective version of astrocytes may be linked to the build up of alpha synuclein and could spur Parkinson's disease. The findings show the important role glial cells play in Parkinson's and offers insights into new targets for therapies to fight the neurodegenerative disease.
Almost half of the identified human accelerated regions of the genome appear to act as neurodevelopment enhancers, researchers say. The findings shed new light on the genetic basis of human evolution.
