Neurons On Edge: Avalanches in Brain Reveal Info Processing Secrets

Researchers provided robust evidence supporting the controversial "critical brain hypothesis" through a project called DishBrain. This experiment, involving 800,000 human neural cells playing Pong, reveals how neurons, when informed about the surrounding environment, shift into a "neural critical" state, enabling cascades of brain activity.

Brain Cells Use a ‘Telephone Trick’ to Report What They See

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.

Researchers Call for New Studies to Learn How Our Brains Change When We’re Awake After Midnight

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.
