Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a previously uncharacterized neural circuit that directly links emotional processing to arousal. In the pathway, GABAergic neurons in the bed ...

This approach allowed precise quantification of neural responsiveness. They found that identical neural stimuli evoked different responses depending on the time of day. Neural activity was reduced at ...

A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience provides neural evidence regarding how environmental cues can bias human ...

The team thinks this means that the cingulate cortex manages the social purpose and context of the facial gesture, which is ...

Nocturnal rats are active at night and accumulate fatigue toward dawn. Using optogenetic stimulation of cortical neurons and simultaneous local field potential (LFP) recordings, the study revealed ...

Our brains do not react in a fixed, mechanical way like electronic circuits. Even if we see the same scene every day on our commute to work, what we feel—and whether it leaves a lasting ...
