To study how a key chemical neuromodulator affects signaling in the brain's cortex, Garrett Neske, PhD, has received a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Whitehall Foundation, a nonprofit ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

The team identified different brain networks involved in processing scenes with people, inanimate objects, action, and dialogue. They also revealed how different executive networks are prioritized ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...
