What neural and behavioral mechanisms allow mice to identify food sources, navigate toward them, and initiate consumption? A research team led by Prof. Zhang Yunfeng from the Institute of Zoology of ...

A fundamental goal of cognitive neuroscience is to understand how information is encoded and the mechanisms that improve encoding efficiency in the brain. Regulating the response covariability in the ...

Picking up a cup of coffee, flipping a light switch or grabbing a door handle don't require much apparent thought. But behind the curtain, the brain performs feats to coordinate these seemingly simple ...

A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them. A team of scientists from the ...

Directions in the development of intracortical neural interface technology. Mux: multiplexer; Amp: amplifier; ADC: analog-to-digital converter; DBS: deep brain stimulation. A recent study published in ...

Tsukuba, Japan—People experience a sense of familiarity from those who provide them with food and care on a daily basis. For children and pets, remembering the faces of such individuals is crucial for ...

To understand the full relationship between brain activity and behavior, scientists need a way to map this relationship for all of the neurons across a whole brain, something that has so far remained ...
