A group of neurons in the forebrain release dopamine when activated by visual or tactile stimuli, a new study reports.
Researchers have identified the roles five sub-areas of the prefrontal cortex make in movement decisions.
According to researchers, people almost always perceive Mona Lisa's facial expression as being happy.
Deep brain stimulation may elevate, and even eliminate symptoms of depression in patients for whom traditional treatments have failed, a new study reports.
Researchers report a convolutional neural network has been used to decode brain signals from EEG data. Scientists believe deep learning systems could be important tools for neuroscience analysis and could help revolutionize brain research.
A new Nature Communications study sheds light on how the brain processes information relevant to memory.
A new study sheds light on human perception. Researchers report our mental time processing system is able to flexibly adapt to predictive time patterns.
Researchers have created a new model that may help explain how the brain stores memories of tangible events. The new model explains how neural activity in the hippocampus can help map space, time and context in episodic memories.
Researchers report brain areas involved in the articulation of language are also implicated in the perception of language.
Researchers propose a new model to help explain how the level of activity in neural networks influences the flow of information.
Studying animal models, researchers have identified previously unknown types of immune cells that are present in the brains of those with multiple sclerosis.
Researchers have successfully created a new map of the brain's immune system in both mice and humans. The findings suggest microglia all have the same core signatures, but can act differently, depending on their function. The map also details how the brain's immune system changes as multiple sclerosis progresses.
