Neural computation occurs in large neural networks within dynamic brain states, yet it remains poorly understood if the functions are performed by a specific subset of neurons or if they occurred in specific, dynamic regions. ...
A team of researchers from the University of California and Stanford University has found that the tendency to see people from different racial groups as interchangeable has a neuronal basis. In their paper published in Proceedings ...
A pair of researchers, one with the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, the other Princeton University, has found evidence that indicates that part of the human brain replays non-spatial, sequential tasks during rest ...
A team of researchers from the U.S., Sweden and the U.K. has found that certain brain cells involved in curbing overeating in mice became less active after the mice were fed a high-fat diet. In their paper published in the ...
Eric Topol, a cardiologist and digital medical researcher, and also director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, has published a Focus piece in the journal Science Translational Medicine discussing the short ...
A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in France and Italy has found that the human brain can be tricked into thinking the body is working harder than it actually is. In their paper published in Proceedings ...
A large team of researchers with members from Denmark, Iceland and the U.S. has isolated a gene associated with cannabis use disorder (CUD). In their paper published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, the group describes ...
An international team of researchers has identified some of the genes and cellular processes that contribute to the pathogenesis of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC)—a Candida albicans fungal infection. In their ...
An international team of researchers has found that people have lower levels of activity in brain in areas related to cognitive control and reasoning when they are focusing on sacred values. In their paper published in Royal ...
A team of researchers at Stanford University has found synapse-boosting factors in the blood of young mice. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes their study of the ...
