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 ...

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 ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Infections, chemicals, stress—these environmental factors influence the risk of developing psychiatric or neurological ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

Animal bodies are crackling with electrical signals. Even before development is complete, electric fields guide the movement and arrangement of embryonic cells. 1 In adults, neurons communicate with ...

With these new molecular tools, scientists now have unprecedented experimental access to brain cells that were difficult to study. "Gaining access to a variety of cell types is simply a 'game-changer' ...

Credit must be given to the creator. Only noncommercial uses of the work are permitted. Adaptations must be shared under the same terms. Distribution of the different neuron types in the chick brain ...

AN ADULT HUMAN body consists of some 37trn cells. Not so long ago, these were thought to come in 220 different types. That number, the product of painstaking decades spent peering through microscopes ...

Emergent properties and new neuron types We think of attention as a spotlight or zoom in our brain that focuses on something in our visual field and devotes resources to that area, improving how we ...
