The transformative aspect of merging quantum computing with classical neural networks has been phenomenal in this fast-paced ...

Humans and other animal species can experience many types of pain throughout the course of their lives, varying in intensity, ...

It captures exceptionally detailed images of synapses and the neurons they belong to, and enables the exact reconstruction of neural circuits. The process involved slicing a portion of the cortex ...

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel ...

The data convincingly show that the transcription factor Sp1 regulates ephrin-mediated axon guidance in the spinal cord. Although the authors show that Sp1 and its co-activators p300 and CBP are ...

Animals must adapt their behavioral responses based on changes in the environmental context, internal state, or experience. Studies in Drosophila melanogaster have provided insight into the neural ...

A research team at Stanford University has become the first to assemble a functioning brain circuit in a lab dish by ...

Immediate use for the newly developed assembloids could include studying neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

"The optogenetics-based mapping technique we used provides a powerful tool to explore other neural circuits, bringing us closer to understanding how songbirds achieve their remarkable vocal ...

In the brain, molecular information is transmitted between cells through neural circuits. Synapses establish connections between the pathways that run from one area to another, allowing the most ...

Touch heals both ways. As hands soothe tense muscles, the therapist’s brain lights up—mirror neurons fire, empathy deepens, ...

In a new study published in Engineering, researchers led by Xinxia Cai, Zhaojie Xu, and Yirong Wu explore the latest progress ...
