Feedforward and feedback signaling involves different neural activity patterns. The findings shed new light on how the brain processes visual information.
Findings provide a mechanistic explanation of why people with autism display more internally focused cognition, including mind wandering, and less focus on external cues.
A new computational method sheds light on the intricacies of brain structure and function.
The propensity to believe in conspiracy theories may be a result of genetic determination, cognitive capacity, and affective reactions. Researchers found the representation of memes acts as neural network attractor states in the brain, linking them with the formation of conspiracy theories.
Brain activity during conscious wakefulness presents large integrated and dynamic network modules which fragment during sleep.
Newly developed brain organoids grown from stem cells showed organized waves of neural activity similar to that seen in living human brains.
Researchers discuss different current neural network models and consider the steps that need to be taken to make them more realistic, and thus more useful, as possible.

Physical exercise was associated with more efficiently organized, robust, and flexible networks in the preteen brain.
Self-reported cognitive decline was associated with altered functional connectivity in the hippocampus and dorsal anterior insular, a new study reports.
When reading, people are not only able to predict the next word, but also the words' grammatical properties. This allows us to read faster. The findings could help with the development of new neural networks focused on natural language processing.
A newly developed technique dubbed NeuroPAL is helping researchers investigate the dynamics of neural networks in the nervous system of microscopic worms.
