A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...

Coimbatore: The autopsy report of tusker ‘Rolex' has revealed that it died due to congestion in the cerebral cortex and ...

Our nerve cells are surrounded by a protective layer (myelin). This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells ...

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

Our nerve cells are surrounded by a protective layer (myelin). This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly. But what happens when this layer goes missing from cells ...

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

The question of consciousness has puzzled scientists for decades, but new research suggests the answer lies not in what consciousness is, but rather in what purpose it serves. According to Professors ...
