A newly identified part of a brain circuit mixes sensory information, memories, and emotions to tell whether things are familiar or new—and important or just "background noise." ...

Brain cells in signaling pathways "fire" as their membrane potential shift, which causes each nerve cell's extensions (axons) to depolarize until the electric pulse reaches a synapse, a gap ...

A Harvard team built a CMOS chip that can see the signals across 2,000 rat neurons, allowing the team to map over 70,000 ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown brain circuit that rapidly evaluates sensory information by integrating memories and emotions.

Researchers at NYU Langone Health have discovered a previously unknown brain circuit that helps the brain quickly determine whether something is important or background noise. The circuit rapidly ...
