Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain, is now known to be ...

A new study has uncovered the ways different types of play are linked to children's social abilities and brain activity. The ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely ...

A new method of CCM using which connections between neurons can be inferred based on the causal relationships between spike train data. Understanding the brain’s functional architecture is a ...

This important work advances our understanding of the role of kisspeptin neurons in regulating the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge in females. The evidence demonstrating increased neuronal activity in ...

A breakthrough in neural sensing technology has been achieved through collaboration between Professor Cai Xinxia's team from the National Key Laboratory of Sensor Technology at the Aerospace ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
