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

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, ...

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 ...

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 from the Göttingen Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological ...

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.

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 ...

"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 ...
