From decision making to action, researchers explore how the brain allows us to make choices.
Study identifies specific neurons that help activate sensory processing in nearby nerve cells. The findings suggest ways the brain integrates signals essential for tactile perception and learning.
Researchers have proposed a computational model that could help explain multisensory integration in humans.
A new mouse study provides clues as to how the brain processes sensory information from internal organs, revealing feedback from organs activates different clusters of neurons in the brain stem.
Researchers report on how specific neurons can process sensory information about temperature and facilitate a change in behavior to adapt to the climate.
Study provides insight into the neural mechanisms of how prey animals use the sounds or actions of others to infer danger and respond defensively.
Study of people who are unable to feel touch reveals surprising new details about how we unconsciously embody our physical selves.
Researchers have identified a novel neural network in fruit flies that converts external stimuli of varying intensity into decisions about whether to act.
Researchers discover how two neural circuits work together to control the formation of time-linked memories.
Study reveals the different ways the brain parses information through interactions of waves of neural activity.
Findings shed new light on the role the prefrontal cortex plays in sensory processing and perception.
Researchers hope discovery will pave the way to developing new methods for earlier diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
