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

This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly. But what happens when this layer goes missing ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Our brain and eyes can play tricks on us—not least when it comes to the expanding hole illusion. A new computational model developed by Flinders University experts helps to explain how cells in the ...

Cyrus—who played the Disney character for five years on the TV series and subsequent movie—stepped out for an appearance on ...

In his book "One Hand Clapping," Nikolay Kukushkin explores explanations for how consciousness evolved, and ultimately, what ...

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 ...

Vestibular Migraine (VM) is a common clinical neurological disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of dizziness and headaches. It has a significant genetic predisposition and a high morbidity and ...
