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

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, refine ...

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

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 "infomorphic neurons" that learn independently, mimicking their biological counterparts more ...

Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers has programmed these infomorphic neurons and constructed artificial ...

High-resolution MRI scans were used to measure the size and shape of different parts of the brain, including the cerebral cortex - the outer layer of the brain responsible for thinking, memory, ...

In military service members with a history of repetitive blast exposure, researchers found that higher blast exposure correlated with changes in the functional connectivity between brain regions, ...

A study found that repeated blast exposure in military personnel led to changes in brain connectivity, even when standard MRI ...
