Innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning and optogenetics are accelerating discoveries in life sciences, especially in the field of neuroscience. A new ...

In a German-U.S. collaboration with the participation of the European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen (ENI-G), researchers have shown that fruit flies can adapt their social behavior and learn from ...

Human cognition remains a mystery to untangle. Modern science has yet to explain exactly how the human brain functions. In efforts to advance scientific understanding of the brain, the National ...

Synaptic plasticity—the brain's ability to modify the connections between neurons to support learning—is one of the neural functions profoundly altered in Huntington's disease, with a direct impact on ...

In what could one day become a new treatment for epilepsy, researchers at UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Berkeley have used pulses of light to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons. The ...

Fiber-optic technology revolutionized the telecommunications industry and may soon do the same for brain research. A group of researchers from Washington University in St. Louis in both the McKelvey ...

Using optogenetics, researchers used pulses of light to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons. This is the first use of optogenetics to modulate seizure activity at the network level in human brain ...

Behavioural neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to unravelling the neural underpinnings of complex behaviours. By integrating methods from neurobiology, psychology, physiology and ...
