Instead of relying on a single neuron, the brain uses the pattern of activity across many neurons to encode information to ...

Researchers have now shown that, despite individual differences in neuron activity, a shared underlying structure guides the ...

In experiments with healthy volunteers undergoing functional MRI imaging, scientists have found increased activity in two ...

Research that is taking a closer look at activity in the thalamus—a region long considered a relay station for the brain and ...

Researchers uncovered how diverse brain cells coordinate to make decisions. Using a computational model, they showed how ...

New research reveals how the brain precisely recognizes objects. It uses complex, non-linear interactions between brain cells ...

New tech accurately decodes slow, blurry brain cell signals into precise firing times. Unlike prior methods, this detailed ...

Cholinergic modulation of neural networks supports sequential and complementary roles for NREM and REM states in memory ...

A new study reveals that neurons in the brainstem respond very differently to acute versus chronic pain, potentially ...
