The representation of individual memories in a recurrent neural network can be efficiently differentiated using chaotic recurrent dynamics.

We’re aware that a good night’s sleep helps to restore energy, but a new study in rats and mice, carried by scientists at Cornell University, has found that sleep also resets another vital function, ...

The brain creates internal 'maps' to help us navigate and learn from our surroundings, but how these maps form remains a challenge to understand. Now, a study led by Liset M. de la Prida at the Cajal ...

Benjamin holds a Master's degree in anthropology from University College London and has previously worked in the fields of psychedelic neuroscience and mental health. Benjamin holds a Master's degree ...

Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...

What am I looking at? This image shows a 1-millimeter-thick coronal slice (from top to bottom) through the brain of a mouse, with neurons that produce somatostatin in purple (1) and pyramidal neurons ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

The hippocampus contains neurons that specifically encode memories of sugar and fat, influencing food intake and body weight in mice, and possibly in humans, new research suggested. “The hippocampus ...

One of the most divisive debates in modern neuroscience has finally been resolved by a new study showing that our brains continue to form new neurons throughout our lives. Until now, scientists had ...
