Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...
Students make a model of the human brain and use it to map the brain structures that govern different functions and behaviors. explain that the brain is divided into distinct functional sections.
The brain never rests: even during deep sleep or under anesthesia, it maintains rhythmic electrical activity known as slow ...
Researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences in Spain have discovered that slow brain waves during sleep and anesthesia are ...
The neurovascular unit (NVU) regulates metabolic homeostasis as well as drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in the central nervous system. Metabolic fluxes and conversions over the NVU rely on ...
New research shows that slow oscillations in the brain, which occur during deep sleep and anesthesia, are guided by neuronal excitability rather than structural anatomy.
For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...
