New studies are set to explore how gene expression alters the brain's response to drug abuse, and to screen for genes that could help brain cells withstand Parkinson's disease.
Study provides new insight into how brain waves control the flow of information through the cortex.
A dynamic interplay of different brainwave frequencies, not dedicated networks, governs how the brain acts to a novel surprise and downplays predictable stimuli.
New findings reveal how anesthesia-induced unconsciousness differs from normal sleep in relation to delta wave activity in the brain.
While the visual cortex stores individual images in the brain, the hippocampus plays a significant role in the ability to recognize a sequence of images.
A new study reveals the complex architecture of a decision-making circuit in the brains of C. elegans that prompts them to forage for food or stop once a source has been found.
Researchers have developed a new method that vastly improves the imaging of the structures of neural connections using standard confocal microscopes.
Rhythmic bursts of activity in the prefrontal cortex reduce variability as an animal focuses on a task.
Brain mapping study reveals memory engrams are widely distributed throughout the brain, including among regions not previously realized.
Researchers reveal how neurons set up and sustain the vital infrastructure that allows for seamless neurotransmission.
Study identifies a key role locus coeruleus neurons play in attentional control.
