This framework was applied to neural recordings from animals receiving one of the three anesthetics—propofol, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine.

Scientists have long known that dopamine helps the brain learn from rewards, but a new computational model shows how for ...

Neuroscientists solve the "cocktail party problem," proving that neural amplification of vocal features like pitch and ...

Scientists have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and somatosensory cortex regions to date. They have released these models and the tools for their use to ...

Alexandre Pouget, full professor in the Department of Basic Neurosciences and member of the Synapsy Centre for Neuroscience Research in Mental Health at the UNIGE Faculty of Medicine, is the laureate ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...

It has long been known as the arbiter of reward in the brain, but recent findings could upend this classic theory of dopamine ...

Researchers identify a neural "fingerprint" in the brain that predicts how accurately we can size up the intentions and strategies of others.

PENSACOLA, Fla. -- The University of West Florida has been awarded a five-year, $555,000 National Institutes of Health R25 Research Education Grant from the Nat ...

The hippocampus is one of the most fascinating brain regions. Associated with the formation of memories, it also helps us to navigate through the world without getting lost. Sensory cortices on the ...
