Key advances in the development of artificial neural networks came from psychologists seeking to understand how the human mind works.
Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...
New findings reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during the earliest stages of human brain development.
A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...
A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...
Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...
Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...
Contrary to popular belief, meditation isn't "thinking about nothing." In fact, a new international study on Buddhist monks shows that meditation is a state of heightened cerebral activity in which ...
