A neuroscientist and assistant professor at the University of Alberta presented his research on the neural mechanisms of sleeping fruit flies at a Georgetown University biology department seminar Feb.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a previously uncharacterized neural circuit that directly links emotional processing to arousal. In the pathway, GABAergic neurons in the bed ...

New research published in Scientific Reports provides evidence that the path from genetic predisposition to general intelligence travels through specific, frequency-dependent networks in the brain.

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

Tufts University School of Medicine researchers developed imaging technology that records neuronal activity throughout the brain during the first weeks of recovery. They discovered that a head injury ...

Spinal cord injury often triggers a cascade of secondary damage that severely limits functional recovery, largely driven by ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation of new memories. Researchers discovered that distinct populations of ...

The brain's ability to adapt and form new neural connections allows it to recover from injury and maintain cognitive function into old age. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and ...

Concurrent decoding of acoustic detail and linguistic structure enables natural, intelligible speech synthesis from limited human cortical recordings, resolving a fundamental constraint in neural ...
