All animals sleep, and the loss of sleep result in significant deficits to brain performance. Prolonging sleep deprivation could be fatal; however, why do we...
Brain activity emerges from the coordinated dynamics of a huge network of neurons. Here, we explored what sorts of wave patterns can arise at the whole-brain...
Behavioral assessments in animal models are crucial to neuroscience research, but manual implementation of these methods can limit throughput. We developed...
Depression is a leading concern for public health, however, the available treatments are insufficient for many patients. Ketamine is a promising yet enigmatic...
The availability of both visual and haptic information for a target object significantly improves reach-to-grasp actions, demonstrating that the nervous system...
Serotonin is a chemical that can be found in many parts of our body, including the brain. People have described it as a happiness chemical, as it is strongly...
We have taken a systems genetics look at sleep to peel back the many layers regulating sleep. Using this approach, we could connect specific DNA variations to...
The claustrum is a mysterious brain structure with vast connections, whose anatomy has limited investigation. We found a new approach for studying claustral...
Neuromorphic computers take inspiration from the brain to achieve enhanced efficiency. We describe the first full-scale simulation of a patch of cerebral...
Our study shows that the brain and its resident immune cells can acquire an immunological memory enabling the cells to either enhance or suppress their...
Semiaquatic fur seals have little or no REM sleep when in water for 2 weeks. Upon coming back to the land-life they return to have normally about 80 min of REM...
Microorganisms inhabiting our gut degrade certain nutrients into molecules capable of activating brain-resident immune cells to control inflammation. This...
