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 ...

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 ...

Neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex process different types of sensory information and exhibit distinct activity patterns, yet the cause of these differences has remained unclear.

Neurons in brain that regulate energy levels and body temperature Date: March 26, 2025 Source: Pennington Biomedical Research Center Summary: Scientists have gained greater clarity in the brain ...

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

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