Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists have demonstrated that neurons can transform from one type ...

Thalamic regions drive conscious perception by syncing with the prefrontal cortex, acting as a gateway to awareness. Using ...

In a study published in Science today, Mingsha Zhang, a neuroscientist at Beijing Normal University, focused on the thalamus.

A new study using intracranial recordings in humans reveals that the thalamus, particularly its higher-order regions, plays a central role in triggering conscious perception.

In a world of constant stimulation, the thalamus filters which thoughts we become aware of and which we don’t.

Using direct, intracranial brain recordings in humans, a new study finds that the thalamus, a small region located deep within the brain, plays a pivotal role in conscious perception. According to the ...

Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought ...

Researchers have developed a new kind of artificial neuron—called infomorphic neurons—that can independently learn and self-organize with nearby neurons, mimicking the decentralized learning of ...

Both, human brain and modern artificial neural networks are extremely powerful. At the lowest level, the neurons work ...

The study found that: The cerebrum (containing hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and amygdala) and the cerebellum are affected ...

Patrick McCarty, a senior at Summit Christian Academy near Kansas City who has cerebral palsy, inspired both teams at a recent basketball game when he played with his varsity team for the very ...

researchers from Binghamton University propose the first dynamic model predicting the complicated mechanics of connectivity development and folding in the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the ...
