Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...
Human proteins identified that explain inter-individual differences in functional brain connectivity
“A central goal of neuroscience is to develop an understanding of the brain that ultimately describes the mechanistic basis of human cognition and behavior,” said Jeremy Herskowitz, Ph.D., associate ...
The 'silent' X chromosome within female brains may not be so silent after all. A new study has found evidence in both mice and humans that as we age, 'sleeping' X chromosomes can be 'awakened' in ...
Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...
Those differences in wiring help explain why some people can switch tasks or recover from distractions more efficiently than others. If your white matter tracts strongly link fast sensory regions with ...
Human proteins identified that explain inter-individual differences in functional brain connectivity
A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study now identifies, ...
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and ...
