Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes - think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke - is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...

An efficient neural screening approach rapidly identifies circuit modules governing distinct behavioral transitions in ...

A decades-old challenge in neuroscience has been solved by harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to identify the electrical signatures of different types of brain cells for the first time, as part ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it ...

Altering a protein in the neurons that coordinate a rattlesnake’s movement made a slow slither neuron more like a speedy rattle neuron, showing one way evolution can generate new ways of moving. In ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory -- how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal injury research.
