Study supports the theory that highly specialized neurons in the brain are key to translating diverse visual stimuli into behavior.
Researchers test machine learning algorithms to determine the metal workload and affective states of the human brain.
Findings could help to develop new treatments to restore site when connections between the eyes and brain are damaged, researchers say.
A new study reports astrocytes may be a driving force behind a number of neurodegenerative diseases.
A new study sheds light on the role of layers in the brain.
Researchers solved an important piece of one of neuroscience's outstanding puzzles: how progenitor cells in the developing mammalian brain reproduce themselves while also giving birth to neurons that will populate the emerging cerebral cortex, the seat of cognition and executive function in the mature brain.
A neuron’s fate was thought to be determined by the timing of its birth date. Neuroscientists recently showed that there is a distinct stem cell progenitor that gives rise to upper layer neurons, regardless of birth date or place.
