The neocortex is the largest part of our brain and plays central roles in perception, body control, thoughts, and memory. We found that the neocortex contains...
Like us, monogamous prairie voles can form lifelong pair bonds. We asked how these long-term bonds change brain activity in brain regions associated with...
The universal cellular process of autophagy that is highly important for young worms becomes malfunctioned in old worms and leads to a shorter life.
What neuroscience has found about the brains of “selfish” and “selfless” people? To understand what is really driving our behaviour, scientists need to look...
Monitoring brain electrical activities helps us discern brain states. But understanding how we sleep is not easy. While deep dreamless sleep brings easily...
A stimulus never associated before with danger becomes frightening when elements of a past sensory memory become integrated into a new fear memory. But when...
The continuous generation of new neurons during lifetime is crucial for learning and memory. In humans, we found a mild decrease in the number of these...
What happens when visually responsive neurons in the primate brain are allowed to interact with artificial neural networks that generate images?
Inherent complexities of the human brain make it difficult to pinpoint the process of memory encoding. Turning to songbirds, we identify memory circuits by...
