Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain distinguishes between visual motion occurring in the external world from that caused by the observer moving through it. Known as the "motion-source ...

Researchers have discovered that stomach cancers make electrical connections with nearby sensory nerves and use these ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown brain circuit that rapidly evaluates sensory information by integrating memories and emotions.

A newly identified part of a brain circuit mixes sensory information, memories, and emotions to tell whether things are familiar or new—and important or just "background noise." ...

Researchers found that excessively activated neurons over time, rather than decreased neuronal activity, cause aging-related decline in brain function in nematodes.

A neuroanatomical minimal network model was revisited to elucidate the mechanism of salt concentration memory-dependent chemotaxis observed in Caenorhabditis elegans. C. elegans memorizes the salt ...

Northwestern researchers have made notable scientific advancements in the past week. The Daily compiled a recap of their ...

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed industries like healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing.

Explore how birds independently developed complex brain circuits, challenging beliefs about brain evolution and ancestry.

New research revealed that the reason behind brain aging is not loss of function or decline but excessive neuron ...

Researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center have identified the specific neurons in mice brains that tell them ...
