Findings reveal the brain may optimize visual information processing depending on its conscious state.
A new neuro-optics technique can manipulate memory consolidation in mouse models by hindering long-term potentiation. Researchers say eliminating local LTP in the hippocampus erased memories. The method could be used to isolate memory formation at the cellular level.
A new study reveals how anxiety affects the decision-making process in the brain, resulting in selecting more pessimistic choices.
A nuclear fragment protein activates Xkr4 to display an "eat me" signal to phagocytes.
Mutations of the ABCA13 cholesterol transport protein are associated with schizophrenia-like behaviors in mouse models.
Breastfeeding mothers with higher levels of oxytocin show more enhanced positive recognition of adult faces. The findings shed light on how oxytocin may support both continued nurturing behaviors and affects general social cognition of other adults.
Researchers uncover an intimate connection between methylation and the body's circadian rhythms.
Purkinje cells can modulate and filter incoming signals. The findings shed new light on learning mechanisms within the cerebellum.
Acute inflammation of the anterior cerebellum resulted in depression-like symptoms in rodent models. Suppressing microglia helped reduce hyperexcitability and symptoms of depression.
Researchers have identified a dual role for a gene associated with sleep and wakefulness regulation.
Researchers report bonobos express disgust when presented with contaminated food. The study reveals their curiosity transforms into caution when food is presented near feces or a bad smell.
A new machine learning study reveals behavioral strategies in worms. The study, researchers say, may shed light on how humans make decisions.
