New evidence suggests astrocytes can sense and react to change. These processes are key to memory formation and behavioral shifts.
Single neurons conveying visual information about two separate objects in line of sight do so by alternating signals about one object or the other. However, when the two objects overlap, brain cells detect them as a single entity.
Study reveals the role the neocortex plays in our ability to think, recall events, and make decisions.
A new hypothesis suggests when people are awake during the biological circadian night there are neurophysiological changes in the brain that alters the way in which we interact with the world, especially when it comes to impulse control, information processing, and reward processing.
By briefly inhibiting other cells, neurogliaform cells in the CA1 region of the hippocampus ensure that current perception and memories of past experiences can be processed both separately and in combination with each other.
Ripples occur in the human cortex, both while we are awake and asleep.
Study reveals the posterior inferior parietal lobe plays a critical role in integrating information from different sources during decision-making tasks.
A new mathematical model has the potential to accurately distinguish a misunderstanding from false information and lies.
The amygdala-pons connectivity in the pons-corticolimbic network is significantly stronger in patients with major depressive disorder.
Decisive people may be more confident in their choices, but that does not mean they are better at making decisions than the rest of us.
Increasing synchronization of neurons in the upstream brain region that transmits information leads to a significant improvement in the transmission of information and information processing in the downstream region.
Study reveals the different ways the brain parses information through interactions of waves of neural activity.
