A new framework that causes artificial neural networks to mimic how real neural networks operate in the brain has been developed by a RIKEN neuroscientist and his collaborator. In addition to shedding ...

Studies have shown that even a few hours of monocular deprivation can markedly improve the visual function of the deprived ...

Study shows social isolation following immune challenge is self-imposed and driven by an active neural process, rather than a secondary consequence of physiological symptoms of sickness.

Scientists have discovered a neural mechanism that is believed to support advanced cognitive abilities such as planning and problem-solving. Mount Sinai scientists have discovered a neural mechanism ...

In the dynamic world of the developing brain, neural stem cells give rise to neurons deep within the brain’s fluid-filled ventricles. These newborn neurons then migrate along the stem cell fibers up ...

The human heart rate is under the influence of various hormonal and neural control mechanisms. Normally, conduction of an electrical impulse through the heart begins at the sinoatrial (SA) node and ...

A new study found a developmental link between longer daily screen time and increased ADHD symptoms after two years.

In 1890, psychologist William James described attention as the spotlight we shine not only on the world around us, but also on the contents of our minds. Most cognitive scientists since then have ...
