Traditional explanations of acupuncture often emphasize direct acupoint-organ relationships, focusing on local stimulation or ...

A research team has created 20 new recombinant rabies viral vectors for neural circuit mapping that offer a range of significant advantages over existing tools, including the ability to detect ...

Every thought, memory, and feeling we experience depends on trillions of tiny connection points in the brain called synapses.

Humans and animals share a remarkable capacity to sense when others are in distress and respond with comforting behavior. But the motivation for doing so, and why it sometimes breaks down, has been ...

A technical paper titled “Mosaic: in-memory computing and routing for small-world spike-based neuromorphic systems” was published by researchers at CEA-LETI Université Grenoble Alpes, University of ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers attempted to investigate whether functional connectivity between glioblastoma and the brain affected cognition-regulating neural circuits and the ...

A technical paper titled “Neuromorphic analog circuits for robust on-chip always-on learning in spiking neural networks” was published by researchers at University of Zurich and ETH Zurich.

In the 1970s and ‘80s, scientists began noticing that people who had few or poor social relationships had a higher risk of developing illnesses and all-cause mortality. 1,2 A slew of follow-up studies ...

Life on Earth unfolds under gravity. To orient their bodies and navigate their environment, animals must continuously sense and respond to gravitational cues. To explain how such gravity-dependent ...

Graph theory and computational modeling reveal that neural network architecture biases the male Caenorhabditis elegans brain toward prioritized sexual behaviors.
