Why do we sometimes keep eating even when we're full and other times turn down food completely? Why do we crave salty things ...

Neural circuits in the brain are highly sophisticated biological systems, orchestrating ultra-fast, parallel computations ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

A neural circuit hidden in an understudied region of the brain plays a critical role in turning temporary pain into pain that can last months or years, according to new University of Colorado Boulder ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Roberto F. Galán, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Ken Loparo, the Nord Professor of Engineering, will present “Making Sense Out of Noise in ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown cluster of brain cells that may help explain differences in social behavior ...

Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn and the University of Bonn are reconstructing neural networks in the laboratory and investigating new mechanisms of signal transmission in the brain ...

Brain stimulation might sound like some Frankensteinian demonstration from a Victorian science fair. But in reality, it is a contemporary technique making a huge impact in neuroscience by addressing a ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. William A. Haseltine, Ph.D., covers genomics and regenerative medicine A recent study from Cell inches us closer to understanding ...

New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially signaling a breakdown in the neural networks that support conscious awareness. By ...
