Understanding how the brain encodes behavior is essential to tackling neurodegenerative disorders, physical disabilities, and other life-altering conditions. But that’s hardly an easy task. Mapping ...
A critical function performed by visual systems is the fast and reliable detection of features within the environment, such as moving objects or approaching threats. Neurons predicted to encode these ...
New research has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning. New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in ...
Recently, a collaborative research team led by Prof. WANG Cheng from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Assistant Prof. CHEN Xiaojing ...
New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...
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 ...
When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...
Humans and other primates learn cause-and-effect relationships in their environments by predicting the likelihood of an event, such as a reward. Importantly, we can learn this through direct ...
