Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

On this episode of Primer, we explore the world of biocomputing, where scientists are blurring the lines between the biological and synthetic.

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 ...

Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: TOKUDA Hideyuki, Ph.D.) has revealed, through fMRI-based brain activity analysis, that multiple regions in the ...

These two organs are connected both physically and biochemically in a number of different ways. Neurons are cells found in your brain and central nervous system that tell your body how to behave.

Converting one type of cell to another—for example, a skin cell to a neuron—can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a "pluripotent" stem cell, then differentiated ...

The ACC is a key brain region involved in various functions ... However, a comprehensive understanding of how a limited number of neurons within the ACC execute such diverse functions has been ...
