Infections, chemicals, stress—these environmental factors influence the risk of developing psychiatric or neurological disorders, especially if they occur before birth. The biological mechanisms ...

Interestingly, one neuron type present in CNN, which combines opponency for the cue but excitatory summation for the target at both locations, was not found in the mouse, suggesting that there might ...

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 ...

Researchers recorded neural activity and blood flow in mice. Opposing neuron populations predicted blood flow more accurately ...

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, ...

Neuronal Type Assignment from Connectivity (NTAC) transforms a connectome into a graph, and detects neuron types using "connectivity fingerprints” and groups the neuronal cell types in the connectome.

A study of cells from 84 cadaver brains suggests that Alzheimer's has two distinct phases, and that one type of neuron is especially vulnerable. "There's an early phase where there's a very slow ...

(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 ...
