Recent electrophysiology research has made significant advancements toward revealing the neural basis of early visual processing. The brain is optimized to draw conclusions from natural scenes, and models of the human ...

A mobile, typically seen in an infant’s crib, is an eloquent representation of the balance between multiple items. The neurochemical mobile is a tool used to visualize the balance between six major neurotransmitters in the ...

We present a 3D/2D Contextual U-Net model and apply it to segment and classify samples from a heterogeneous mouse brain dataset obtained via X-ray microtomography, which spans 4 distinct brain areas: Striatum, Ventral ...

Background: Rodent training is a necessary but time-consuming process that often requires the development of computer-based training systems to automate the process of administering a food or water reward in return for the ...

Memory is our ability to encode, store, retrain, and subsequently recall information and past experiences. Different areas of the brain are responsible for different aspects of memory, including the hippocampus which enables ...

The brain’s overall organization of its networks is often studied through its functional connectivity, defined as the spatiotemporal dependency of neuronal activity in anatomically separated regions. Altered functional ...

Motor skills and sequential motor learning are essential in our day to day lives, however, little behind the brain regions involved is known. This means that when someone has a deficiency in their motor skills or their ...

This study investigates how toxins secreted from Staphylococcus aureus, such as δ-toxin, can produce pruritis and initiate neurogenic inflammation to help characterize the cutaneous neural reaction to S. aureus colonization ...

Stress, a common feature of everyday life, has been demonstrated in numerous studies to profoundly impact memory function, particularly functions dependent on the hippocampus. The impacts of acute stress on statistical ...

Quasi-periodic patterns (QPPs) are a form of low-frequency neural activity that include the interactions of both default mode and task positive networks. As this brain activity occurs constantly in our brains, they are ...
