Using virtual reality technology, researchers found the faulty alignment of prosthetics resulted in a measurable loss in performance for users.
At the site of injury, nerves release a protein called CXCL12 which attracts growing nerve fibers and keeps them trapped in place. This prevents the nerve fibers from growing in the correct direction to bridge the injury site.
An increase in theta oscillations in the hippocampus help make learning and subsequent memory more efficient.
Protein hyper-interleukin-6, a "designer protein" that has to be produced via genetic engineering, enabled a paralyzed mouse to walk again.
An EEG study of couples embarking on romantic gestures, such as hugging and kissing, reveal positive emotions are mainly processed in the left hemisphere of the brain.
A novel method detected conformational changes to the TDP-43 protein in cerebral spinal fluid associated with ALS.
Objects are not only represented in one form of short term memory but in several forms simultaneously.
Receptor potentiation was observed when the antagonists bind to receptors that consist of different subunits, where it acts as a subunit.
Grid cell dysfunction in the entorhinal cortex may explain why people with a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease have problems with navigation.
The mood in which a baby is in when it learns new information plays a key role in their ability to recall information.
Repeatedly administered tactile simulation over a sustained period of time alters neural processing of the hand area in the brain. The observable changes over time illustrate neuroplasticity and shed new light on the process of learning.
Researchers proposed four criteria to understand and investigate animal belief systems. Findings suggest flexible behavior caused by belief is exhibited in the behavior of rats, chimpanzees, and dogs.
