A short-term memory circuit, for example, will remain in a single preferred state until a new stimulus comes along, causing ...

A unique combination of explainable AI and repurposing animal camouflage detection algorithms can identify human brain cancer ...

Working out and staying fit fire up neurons and can lower the risk of developing dementia, according to new medical and ...

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a metaphorical sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...

Zebrafish have only 500 neurons, allowing comprehensive analysis of the entire circuit ... Institute of Neurological ...

Researchers have uncovered a link between the immune gene regulator STAT1 and hyperactive behaviors in mice, offering new ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...

There was a period in the 1950s and 60s when sleep deprivation was all the rage. Sparked by radio DJs attempting to outdo ...

Aksay and colleagues identified the neurons that participate in controlling the animals' gaze and then determined ... R01 EY021581 and K99 EY027017; and the National Cancer Institute UH2 CA203710.

A study using zebrafish reveals how brainstem neural networks guide eye movement, offering a new model that mimics these networks to predict their activity, potentially aiding eye disorder treatments ...

Researchers from the School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry.

July 8, 2024 — Researchers have discovered a new potential drug target for the lethal wasting disease known as cancer cachexia. Their findings illustrate that even small groups of neurons in the ...
