If the award-winning 1967 movie The Graduate were remade today, the film’s memorable word would need to switch from "plastics" to "plasticity," to mark the present as well as the future.
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 ...
Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have developed a novel reinforcement learning–based generative model to predict neural signals, creating ...
For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel mechanisms of pain disorders. “This is important groundbreaking work,” ...
