Researchers have gained comprehensive insights into the entire nervous system of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). The study describes in detail the neurons that span the entire nervous system ...

Brain researchers have identified a bridge between the thalamus and the cortex as the key area that is modified during motor learning functions. They found that such learning does much more than ...

New research reveals that long-term obesity patterns significantly influence brain structure, function, and cognition, with stable or increasing obesity linked to greater neurological decline. Using ...

Crucially, the way it interprets the information depends on what the rest of the brain is working on. If it's Super Bowl Sunday, the visual system sees those carrots on a veggie tray before the ...

This cultured meat has a significant difference in that it used an artificial circulatory system. The researchers delivered oxygen and nutrients to chicken muscle cells through hollow fibers that ...

The human brain can learn through experience to filter ... This learned suppression is an important component of the human visual system, which is otherwise strongly influenced by voluntary ...

For the first time, the smallest control system of vision in mammals has been ... Vision is one of the most complex functions of our brain and requires a seamless interaction between many ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement ...

In all, they collected data that covers about 3.4 miles (5.4 kilometers) of neuronal wiring in a part of the brain that processes visual information ... Neuroscientists have produced the largest ...
