The difference between an expert’s brain and a novice’s
by
•In learning new tasks, neuron networks in the brain of mice become more refined and selective. Charting changes in neural activity can help inform the design of better computational models …read more Source:: Science
How memories form and fade
by
•Researchers have identified the neural processes that make some memories fade rapidly while other memories persist over time. …read more Source:: Science
New study shows how autism can be measured through a non-verbal marker
by
•Researchers have identified a non-verbal, neural marker of autism. This marker shows that individuals with autism are slower to dampen neural activity in response to visual signals in the brain. …read more Source:: Science
Fear of predators causes PTSD-like changes in brains of wild animals
by
•A new study demonstrates that the fear predators inspire can leave long-lasting traces in the neural circuitry of wild animals and induce enduringly fearful behavior, comparable to effects seen in …read more Source:: Science
Neural nets to simulate molecular motion cast
by
•New work is showing that artificial neural nets can be trained to encode quantum mechanical laws to describe the motions of molecules, supercharging simulations potentially across a broad range of …read more Source:: Science
Animals’ brain activity ‘syncs’ during social interactions
by
•Egyptian fruit bats and mice, respectively, can ‘sync’ brainwaves in social situations. The synchronization of neural activity in the brains of human conversation partners has been shown previously, as a …read more Source:: Science
Ultimate destiny: How undifferentiated cells commit to their biological fate
by
•A new study using mouse neural crest tissue reveals how primitive, undifferentiated cells choose their adult fate. The findings help explain how some neural crest cells become craniofacial cells, while …read more Source:: Science
Alligator study reveals insight into dinosaur hearing
by
•A biologist finds alligators build neural maps of sound the way birds do, suggesting the hearing strategy existed in their common ancestor, the dinosaurs. …read more Source:: Science
Scientists chase mystery of how dogs process words
by
•Experimental results suggest that dogs have at least a rudimentary neural representation of meaning for words they have been taught, differentiating words they have heard before from those they have …read more Source:: Science
