Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a ...

Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, published April 25 in the journal Cell, offer valuable ...

What neural and behavioral mechanisms allow mice to identify food sources, navigate toward them, and initiate consumption? A research team led by Prof. Zhang Yunfeng from the Institute of Zoology of ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have developed a novel reinforcement learning–based generative model to predict neural signals, creating ...

In the split second that is needed to view a stop sign and react to it, our brain navigates a complex process that transitions seamlessly from perception to action control. This ability to halt or ...

The neural mechanisms of many symptoms associated with migraine have yet to be elucidated. New research suggests that a non-image-forming retinal pathway and signals from the dura mater contribute to ...

Neuroscientists find that two distinct neural pathways are responsible for the addictive properties of the opioid fentanyl: one mediates reward, the other promotes the seeking of relief from symptoms ...

If the award-winning 1967 movie The Graduate were remade today, the film’s memorable word would need to switch from "plastics" to "plasticity," to mark the present as well as the future.
