Compelling new research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is suggesting neuronal activity in the hippocampus prior to the delivery of new information can ...

New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers investigated whether post-encoding ripples improve emotional memory through amygdala-hippocampal memory restoration or ...

A team of UChicago psychology researchers used fMRI scans to learn why certain moments carry such lasting power ...

Brain waves carry information. A new 'Cytoelectric Coupling' hypothesis posits that fluctuating electric fields optimize brain network efficiency and stability by shaping the brain's molecular ...

Nia Therapeutics announced publication in Brain Stimulation of the first in vivo validation of its Smart Neurostimulation ...

One way to think about consciousness is as a surfer on a moonless, cloudy night, skimming over the surface of a rough ocean. The surfer thinks she’s in complete control of her direction. But she’s ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have demonstrated how to decode what the human brain is seeing by using artificial intelligence to interpret fMRI scans from people watching videos, representing a ...

The “circuit” metaphor of the brain is as indisputable as it is familiar: Neurons forge direct physical connections to create functional networks, for instance to store memories or produce thoughts.
