What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of nervous systems. Neuroscience can involve research from many branches of science including those involving neurology, brain science, neurobiology, psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, prosthetics, neuroimaging, engineering, medicine, physics, mathematics, pharmacology, electrophysiology, biology, robotics and technology.
Researchers believe findings may shed light on how the vertebrate brain may have evolved. Read More
Sustained hits following one season of playing football are enough to cause structural alterations to the brain. When players sustain a concussion, structural brain integrity decreases, and levels of tau increase. Researchers say, while concussions are a prime concern for those who play football, sustained hits also pose a threat to neurological health. Read More
Researchers discover as much as 30% of the larger array of human olfactory receptors differ between individuals. Read More
A new study explains how sensory input impacts fruit flies' decisions about sweet tastes. Read More
Researchers propose a new approach to conducting behavioral science research that uses experimental studies and computer models. Read More
A new study reports researchers have decoupled the production of IGF2 from the sleep-wake cycle and discovered this improved long-term memory in mice. Read More
Working with fruit flies, researchers identify a mechanism which helps explain how neurons which make up the visual system are generated. Read More
Early life adversity, coupled with overexpression of the FKBP5 protein, increase susceptibility for later neuropsychiatric disorders, a new mouse study reveals. The association is more pronounced in females. Read More
A newly developed head-mounted miniature microscope can capture images of all cortical layers of a freely moving rat. Read More
A new study reveals the role the claustrum plays in cocaine addiction. Inhibiting claustral neurons prevented behavioral responses to cocaine in mouse models of addiction. Read More
Max Planck Institute researchers report deaf children who receive cochlear implants are better at learning words when introduced to spoken word than children with normal hearing. Read More
