The Johns Hopkins-created maps provide higher resolution and better coverage of gray matter than previously published maps, ...

“Many call types assort together, much like words are commonly given together within bodies of human text, such as grass and ...

Imagine balancing a ruler upright in the palm of the hand: There is a need to continually pay attention to the angle of the ...

"Consciousness is under siege," says author Michael Pollan. His new book, A World Appears, explores consciousness on both a personal and technological level.

A new ‘pop-up’ device developed by Professor John Rogers lets scientists map and manipulate activity in human neural ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Senior Lecturer in Neurosciences and Neurorehabilitation, Course Leader in the College of Health and Life Sciences, London South Bank University For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that ...

Pūkeko use sound elements to create calls and combine them to create complex call sequences in order to expand the range of options for expressing themselves—these are the findings of an international ...

The takeaway: Researchers in China have developed an artificial skin that allows robots to sense pressure and respond in ways similar to living tissue, helping them avoid damage. The flexible ...

Summary: Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming synaptic signals between neurons—signals that, until now, have been ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

Scientists at the Allen Institute and HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus have engineered a protein called iGluSnFR4 (“glue sniffer”). It detects the faintest incoming signals between neurons, the release ...
