A Study explains the Role of a Little-known Synapse in the Brain
For the first time, Oregon Health & Science University researchers have revealed the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain, which could…
Deep Neural Networks show potential as Models for Human Hearing
In the broadest investigation yet of deep neural networks trained to perform auditory tasks, researchers discovered that the majority of these models develop internal representations…
Memory Study – Breathing during Sleep Influences Memory Processes
Researchers at LMU, the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, and the University of Oxford studied how sleep impacts memory. They discovered a relationship between…
Researchers discover a Way to Avoid Cognitive impairment following Radiation
Researchers at the University of Rochester’s Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience discovered that microglia, the brain’s immune cells, can cause cognitive abnormalities following radiation exposure…
Unconscious Cognition
Unconscious cognition refers to mental processes and actions that occur without conscious awareness or intention. It is the processing of perception, memory, learning, thought, and…
Metacognitive Therapy (MCT)
Metacognitive therapy (MCT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on addressing and changing maladaptive thought processes and patterns associated with metacognition, or thinking about…
Neural Tissue Engineering – a specific sub-field of tissue engineering
Neural tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines neuroscience, materials science, and engineering principles to create strategies for repairing or replacing damaged neural tissues…
How Stress Activates Neurons that Cause Sleep Disruption
Neurons in the preoptic hypothalamus, the region of the brain that regulates sleep and body temperature, are rhythmically activated during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM),…
Cerebral Organoid
A cerebral organoid, also known as a brain organoid, is an artificially grown, in vitro miniature organ that resembles the brain. These are three-dimensional tissue…
How Stress Triggers Neurons that cause Sleep Disruption
New research reveals that neurons in the preoptic hypothalamus – the region of the brain that regulates sleep and body temperature – are rhythmically activated…
Molecular Cellular Cognition – a branch of neuroscience
Molecular cellular cognition (MCC) is a branch of neuroscience that studies cognitive processes using approaches that integrate molecular, cellular, and behavioral mechanisms. The development of…
