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 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 ...
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 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 small team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics has found evidence that suggests the female brain responds to pornography in the same ways as the male brain. In their paper published in ...
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 found evidence that suggests standard personality tests may not work as intended outside of mostly white, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic (WEIRD) societies. In their ...
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have recently carried out a study exploring the relationship between sentence representations acquired by deep neural networks and ...
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 team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in France has found evidence that suggests vaping can be used as a way to reduce cigarette smoking, but it can also lead to relapse. In their paper published in the ...
