Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of ...

Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into “what” and “where/when” using two different groups of neurons.

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Ever wondered how your brain stacks up against a computer? A recent study revealed just how many bits of data the human brain can process per second. A new study from the ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

How does the brain choose between fight, flight, or freeze? Tulane University scientists have discovered the neural pathways ...

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

Gustatory receptor neurons are thought to be responsible for sensing taste and communicating with the central nervous system about food quality — guiding decision-making — according to the paper. The ...
