Researchers report signals from the retina are subjected to selective processing at the earliest neural way-station in the functional pathway connecting the retina to the visual cortex.
According to researchers, dopamine signaling within the cerebral cortex can predict changes between neural networks during working memory tasks.
Researchers believe new study may help improve understanding of the genetic causes of microcephaly and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Researchers have developed a new brain mapping technique that is able to capture a detailed snapshot of global activity in a mouse brain.
A new PNAS study reveals the hippocampus can promote brain wide functional connectivity in the cerebral cortex, and enhance sensory response. Researchers say the hippocampus should be considered to the the 'heart of the brain'.
A new study reports an overload in neural connections that has been attributed to autism begins in early development.
Study reveals axon density is lower than previously believed between distant regions of the brain.
A new study provides detailed information about human specific changes in gene regulation and human brain development.
Researchers have determined a group of genes associated with neurons help regulate dendrites' growth.
Researchers have developed a new method for tracing neural connections with unprecedented sensitivity.
Parts of the prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal lobe, in addition to the somatosensory cortex, play critical roles in touch perception.
The direction of information flow and instant synchronization of the sensory thalamocortical circuit play critical roles in sensory perception.
