Researchers discover two new areas of the brain involved in facial processing.
Modifying genes essential for sensing pheromones in ants resulted in the insects' displaying deficiencies in social behaviors and reduced ability to survive within a colony.
Researchers suggest that when in a group, ants behave in a similar fashion to networks of neurons in the brain.
Study reveals dopamine neurons that play a role in learning and memory also drive motivation.
Researchers discover brain areas in primates exclusively dedicated to analyzing social interactions.
Researchers have identified specific chemical changes in the brain that drive nicotine addiction. The findings could lead to new treatments to help break the addiction.
A new technique dubbed light beads microscopy allowed researchers to generate a vivid functional movie of the near-simultaneous activity of almost a million neurons in the mouse brain.
Researchers from Rockefeller University have identified what they claim to be 'remarkable' differences between the way the male and female brains respond to stress.
Working memory isn't confined to one area of the brain. It requires synchronous activity of at least two brain areas.
A recent Nature Neuroscience study reports it is glial cells, and not neurons, that direct the initial steps of brain assembly.
Researchers have identified a neural network in the brains of monkeys that may represent a common evolutionary origin for social communication and human speech.
A new study reveals subplate cells may not simply disappear, they may, instead, be migrating to different levels of the cortex. In essence, subplate cells may become part of the cerebral cortex.
