Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Scientists discover that sickle cell disease forces the brain to recruit extra "attention backup" to maintain normal cognitive function.

Figure 1. Diagram showing an electrically active cell in a neuronal culture and the process of recording its transmembrane potential for further analysis Neurons are cells that enable the brain to ...

The ability to analyze the brain's neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, such as controlling artificial limbs and enhancing human ...

Chinese scientists have developed a novel neural network that enables artificial intelligence (AI) to form concepts from raw sensory data like sight and sound, simulating a fundamental aspect of human ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have made a fundamental discovery: the NMDA receptor (NMDAR) - long studied primarily for its role in learning and memory - also plays a crucial role in stabilizing ...

The field of cellular neuroscience continues to reveal the intricate regulation of neural and glial cell function by water and ion channels, transporters, ...

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 ...
