A team from the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) has pinpointed a critical neural circuit for sexual rejection, identifying a set ...

While this theory appears to be gathering steam, there’s still much more to explore. Ephaptic fields and other theories of ...

Memories are created in a matter of seconds. Researchers now may have begun to uncover how behavioral timescale learning ...

For example, if you go to grab your keys and they aren’t where you left them on the hallway table, you experience absence. Previously, researchers assumed that absence was represented in the brain by ...

This article reports a useful set of findings on how electrophysiological response properties of neurons correlate with their position in the brain. The evidence currently remains incomplete, with ...

While it's well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly those related to nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, remain largely unexplored.

It explores how human consciousness could be explained through the electromagnetic fields—known as “ephaptic fields”—produced by neurons through synaptic firing. These fields are what allow an ...

If a presynaptic neuron increases its firing rate sufficiently, postsynaptic neurons would be expected to begin ...

Researchers combine gene therapy with optogenetics to curb abnormal neural activity and prevent seizure-like activity in neurons.
