Using measurements of changes in neural activity in neurons of the inferior temporal cortex of mature nonhuman primates as they observed novel and familiar stimuli,…
Neuroscientists from MIT have identified the region of the brain that holds objects in memory until they are spotted. Imagine you are looking for your…
Scientists from UCLA have identified a molecule (GDF10) that signals brain tissue to form new connections after a stroke. The finding could eventually lead to…
A new study from Yale University reveals that patients with the rare ALK mutation are living an average of four years, compared to typical patients…
A newly published study from Yale University reveals that a person’s brain activity appears to be as unique as his or her fingerprints. These brain…
New medical trials reveal that the intravenous drug Cirara significantly reduces brain swelling following a stroke. An existing drug administered intravenously reduces the chances of…
In a newly published study, neuroscientists from MIT and Columbia University reveal how neurons in one part of the brain measure time intervals and accurately…
In a newly published study, neuroscientists from MIT reveal evidence that the brain’s inferotemporal cortex can identify objects. When the eyes are open, visual information…
A newly published study from UCLA neuroscientists reveals how a diet high in processed fructose hampers the brain’s ability to heal itself following traumatic injury….
New research from Brown University details a relatively accessible method for making a working (though not thinking) sphere of central nervous system tissue. If you…
Using a new tool called SegEM, scientists from the Max Planck Institute are able to speed up the reconstruction of connections between nerve cells more…
In a newly published study, biologists from MIT detail how a yeast protein may lead to anti-amyloid therapeutic opportunities. Fibrous protein clumps known as amyloids…
Neuroscientists from MIT have now identified a brain circuit that processes the “when” and “where” components of memory, revealing that this information is split even…
New research sheds light on a fundamental mechanism underlying the development of Alzheimer’s disease and could lead to new forms of therapy people with the…
In a newly published study, a team of researchers show that blocking amygdala cells’ interactions with serotonin after trauma may prevent post-traumatic stress disorder. About…
A newly published study from MIT shows that habit formation in primates is driven by neurons that represent the cost of a habit, as well…
New research from Yale University reveals that even before the onset of schizophrenia, irregularities in key brain areas are already present in individuals at higher…
