Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...
USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...
Neuronal sequences in the medial prefrontal cortex of the brain encode critical information associated with a procedural rule. These sequences can be explored and leveraged as novel biomarkers for ...
Consciousness has long been treated as philosophy’s most stubborn mystery, yet a growing body of neuroscience is now tying our inner life to specific, testable brain mechanisms. A leading MIT ...
Scientists are learning how the brain knows what’s happening throughout the body, and how that process might go awry in some psychiatric disorders. By Carl Zimmer Last year, Ardem Patapoutian got a ...
Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost memory Nora Bradford, Quanta Magazine Some solutions are reached incrementally ...
Study authors Hunter Schweiger (left) and Ash Robbins. Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small ...
How strongly does our metabolism influence thinking? This question has been examined by Dr. Philipp Haueis, a philosopher of science at Bielefeld University, in a recent publication in the journal ...
