Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have developed a novel reinforcement learning–based generative model to predict neural signals, creating ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have achieved a major ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a previously uncharacterized neural circuit that directly links emotional processing to arousal. In the pathway, GABAergic neurons in the bed ...

If the award-winning 1967 movie The Graduate were remade today, the film’s memorable word would need to switch from "plastics" to "plasticity," to mark the present as well as the future.

Research reveals that neural crest cells fine-tune key growth signals during early development, ensuring proper formation of ...

Human heart development is largely influenced by neural crest cells, which carefully regulate a key growth signal.
