Furthermore, during motivated behavior, orexin neuron activity changed dynamically: Activity increased during reward ...

What enables us to sustain effort toward goals, even when the task becomes increasingly difficult? A recent study by ...

What enables us to sustain effort toward goals, even when the task becomes increasingly difficult? A recent study by researchers at Nagoya University in Japan revealed the underlying brain mechanism, ...

This work establishes a valuable theoretical finding about how the spike timing dependence of inhibitory plasticity shapes recurrent network connectivity. The combination of theoretical analysis and ...

Understanding how correlated neural noise affects neural population coding is a basic question in computational and systems neuroscience [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]. Recent theoretical work suggests that shared ...

Much of modern AI runs on multiplication. Neural networks behind everything from generated answers to photo organization and ...

Neurons transmit information to the next cell by converting electrical signals into chemical signals. A critical step in this ...

Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and motor neuron disease (MND, including amyotrophic lateral ...

A new study suggests that the human brain’s extraordinary abilities may depend not only on its vast number of neurons, but ...

Long before the dawn of modern parenting, animals laid eggs and moved on, leaving their progeny to fend for themselves. Now, a study published in Nature uncovers one of the elegant ways evolution ...

Scientists often use blood flow in the brain as a stand-in for neural activity. Generally, increases in neural activity are accompanied by increases in blood flow. But an array of studies over the ...

On Tuesday morning, Arrow’s now-wife took to social media to confirm the “special” news, posting photos of what appeared to be a courthouse elopement outside of Martin Place in Sydney. “We did a thing ...
