A study of nematodes by researchers at Nagoya University in Japan has found that aging-related decline in brain function is caused by the excessive activation of certain neurons over time, rather than ...

Neuropsychiatric disorders are becoming increasingly prevalent. Given their complex and multifactorial pathogenesis, there is ...

Fluorescent voltage imaging is an emerging method in neuroscience research that enables visualization of neural activity by detecting small voltage changes in the cell. Many of the advances in this ...

Overview: A research group from the Institute for Research on Next-generation Semiconductor and Sensing Science (IRES²) at ...

Since blood-oxygen levels and blood flow are related to the nearby activity of neurons, a BOLD signal is a useful way to gauge changes in neuronal activity in specific brain areas. What does it ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

A team of Israeli researchers have exposed the brain mechanisms involved in recognising the emotional states of others, with ...

JERUSALEM, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- The researchers have exposed the brain mechanisms involved in recognizing the emotional states of others, with potential implications for treating social disorders such ...

This important study shows that the activity of hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons (HONs) correlates with body movement over multiple behaviors. Sophisticated techniques and analyses showcase this ...
