The progress in AI over the past decade is beginning to suggest answers to some of our deepest questions about human intelligence. Below, Tom Griffiths shares five key insights from his new book, The ...
Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...
A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...
A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...
New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...
Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...
Contrary to popular belief, meditation isn't "thinking about nothing." In fact, a new international study on Buddhist monks shows that meditation is a state of heightened cerebral activity in which ...
Axons from AgRP neurons, in red, innervate oxytocin neurons, in green, in the PVH. Neuronal activity of AgRP neurons is required for normal targeting of their axons to oxytocin neurons, as well as for ...
