Researchers have developed a new type of artificial neuron that physically emulates the electrochemical processes of ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, allowing researchers to map the brain's structure and synaptic connectivity (i.e., the junctions via which ...

People with autism spectrum disorders commonly have difficulty processing sensory information, which can make busy, bright or loud settings—such as schools, airports and restaurants—stressful or even ...

MIT researchers discovered that circling waves in the brain's prefrontal cortex help regain focus following distraction. These waves, similar to herders, guide the cortex back on track, observed in ...

For numerous individuals with schizophrenia, living with the condition involves challenges, not only related to hallucinations or delusions, but also due to subtler difficulties, such as problems ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...

Scripps Research neuroscientist Giordano Lippi is the recipient of a $4 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to study haploinsufficiency, a condition where only ...

Ever get distracted and struggle to focus? Scientists have found that your brain uses 'circling waves' in the prefrontal cortex to get you back on track ...

A new Northwestern University study using patient nervous tissue and lab-grown human neurons has uncovered how a key disease ...

Austria, and Imperial College London, UK, have introduced a new approach that enables the detection and use of residual nerve signals following arm amputation to control artificial arms.
