Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. Although previous ...

A comprehensive new review published in the journal Science China Life Sciences synthesizes decades of research to explain ...

A spinal cord injury in most vertebrates likely inhibits locomotion and induces paralysis—not so in eels. They not only ...

Summary: Researchers discovered how the brain develops reliable visual processing once the eyes open. Early on, visual inputs and modular brain responses are mismatched, creating inconsistent patterns ...

Netrin1 is a protein that was first characterized for its axon guidance activities during embryonic development. The netrin family has been shown to play many critical roles in developmental and ...

Vision happens when patterns of light entering the eye are converted into reliable patterns of brain activity. This reliability allows the brain to recognize the same object each time it is seen. Our ...

This diagram shows that dopamine regulates neuron specification, suggesting its role in modulating neural circuits during development, potentially contributing to autism spectrum disorder–related ...

It was found that eels use sensory signals from their bodies, such as stretch and pressure, to adapt to their environment.

Artificial intelligence is now part of our daily lives, with the subsequent pressing need for larger, more complex models.

Scientists have made a breakthrough in our understanding of the neuroscience behind autism spectrum disorders that promises to "revolutionize" the way we approach treatment, scientists say. The ...
