Specialized “thirst” and “hunger” neurons in the amygdala operate through distinct circuits, influencing the drive to eat or ...

Next time you feel an itch, remember that your brain's vast network of neurons informs it whether it is an itch or pain. A ...

Neuromorphic computing seeks to replicate the information-processing capabilities of biological neural networks. Neurons in biological systems rely on rhythmic burst firing for sensory encoding, ...

New research uncovers how the brain processes learning by identifying the exact moment an animal learns a new skill.

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes ...

Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers has programmed these infomorphic neurons and constructed ...

This valuable study shows that an odorant that is typically thought of as a repellant actually activates both attractant and repellant olfactory neurons in C. elegans. Solid evidence is provided that ...

National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive brain-wide presynaptic inputs that encode behavioral states, refining our ...

"The brain continuously receives and integrates sensory inputs, and neurons do not act in isolation—they are part of complex, recurrent networks.

Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches, uncovering new ...
