Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...
Scientists at Cortical Labs attached 200,000 living human brain cells to a microchip and set it up to play Doom, the first-person shooter game. Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a ...
A cortical tri-culture model advances the validation process in neurodegenerative drug discovery, offering new possibilities ...
REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM (NREM) sleep stages contribute to systems memory consolidation in hippocampal-cortical circuits. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying REM memory ...
A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.
Researchers at Tohoku University and Future University Hakodate have trained cultured rat cortical neurons to perform ...
A series of recent studies in mice and rats has mapped specific brain circuits that appear to drive chronic pain, identifying ...
Scientists have created a super-map of the brain containing 30 million cells to trace the prenatal origins of diseases.
Contact sport athletes showed significant brain injury in an autopsy study before signs of CTE appeared. Athletes who experienced repeated head hits had 56% fewer neurons at the depths of the cortical ...
