Researchers found that neurons involved in parental care also activate during comforting behavior in mice. The circuit links caregiving with the brain’s reward system, suggesting prosocial actions may ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...

Imagine arriving at a busy location with people moving around and a multitude of visual and other sensory cues vying for your ...

Humans and animals share a remarkable capacity to sense when others are in distress and respond with comforting behavior. But the motivation for doing so, and why it sometimes breaks down, has been ...

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

Tthe brain's parenting circuitry (MPOA) drives helping and comforting behaviors toward peers through the dopamine reward ...

Researchers have built AI systems capable of steering targeted brain circuits in real time, moving neuroscience closer to precise, closed-loop control of neural activity. These tools pair machine ...

The field of systems neuroscience increasingly seeks to understand how distributed neural populations interact to support complex cognitive functions such ...

A new UCLA Health study published in Nature uncovered the brain circuitry in mice linking two seemingly distinct social behaviors: caring for vulnerable offspring and comforting distressed peers.

BackgroundPhysical activity and exercise not only enhance physical fitness, mental health, and quality of life, but also play a critical role in preventing ...
