Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

Presently, their therapeutic choices consist of anesthetics like ketamine, psychedelics such as psilocybin or various forms ...

Instead of suffering through it yet again, James Innes-Smith has decided to book a table for one at a top London restaurant ...

He pushed the drill carefully through the last bit of bone. He inserted the thing using the tweezers. He sutured the hole, which required the same degree of backward coordination. The surgery was done ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Healing from any injury involves a delicate balance between scarring and inflammation — two processes that can wreak havoc as well as make repairs. When the injury is to the brain, the balance is that ...

Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by a recurrent or persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities that were previously deemed pleasurable, sometimes accompanied by changes ...

Dr. Jauhar is a cardiologist at Northwell Health in New York, where Dr. Patel and Dr. Smith are the directors of the center for heart failure and transplant. People die in many ways, but in medicine ...
