Researchers recorded neural activity and blood flow in mice. Opposing neuron populations predicted blood flow more accurately ...
Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create memories of meals, encoding not just what food was eaten but when it was eaten. The findings, published in Nature Communications, ...
Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...
Dopamine neurons in the midbrain may, with aging, be increasingly susceptible to a vicious spiral of decline driven by fuel shortages, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine (NY, USA) ...
Early in life, neural networks in the brain's memory center are highly connected, and they are only later refined into ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, and for decades scientists have assumed that these cells are the primary ...
A new study from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience researchers may help explain an enduring mystery about ...
Mirror neurons are a type of brain cell that is activated both when performing an action and when observing another individual perform that same action, a process thought to help an individual ...
