Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

Desserts also behave differently once they reach the gut. Compared with foods rich in protein or fat, sugary and carbohydrate ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

The human brain is constantly processing information that unfolds at different speeds – from split-second reactions to sudden environmental changes to slower, more reflective processes such as ...

Self-sabotage is linked to survival mechanisms in the brain, which use predictable harm as a way to reduce the risk of ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

For decades, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been diagnosed from the outside in, through behavior, mood, and memory rather than the cells and circuits that go wrong. Now a new wave of brain ...
