Study reveals how brain detects, regulates inflammation
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A circuit important in sensing and also in the regulation of the anti-inflammatory response organized by many brain regions has been identified by a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Institut Pasteur, CNRS, and Inserm.

Researchers discover brain developing sequence through adolescence
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
A recent Penn Medicine study found that brain development does not take place consistently throughout the entire brain. It follows a recently discovered developmental progression. Young people are susceptible to socioeconomic situations until adolescence because brain regions that support co

New brain developing sequence which spans through adolescence identified:
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Researchers charted how developmental processes unfold across the human brain from the ages of 8 to 23 years old through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The findings indicate a new approach to understanding the order in which individual brain regions show reductions in plasticity during de

Memories could be lost if two key brain regions fail to sync: Research
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
Several distinct groupings of neurons connected inside and across critical parts of the brain assist learning, remembering, and retrieving memories. A recent study led by the universities of Bristol and Heidelberg discovered that if these neuronal assemblies fail to sync up at the correct ti

Researchers use technology to show organoids respond to external sensory s
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded to external sensory stimuli. The implanted organoids reacted to visual stimuli in the same wa

Research: Network neuroscience theory best predictor of intelligence
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Scientists have labored for decades to understand how brain structure and functional connectivity drive intelligence. A new analysis offers the clearest picture yet of how various brain regions and neural networks contribute to a person's problem-solving ability in a variety of contexts, a t

Brain area thought to impart consciousness, behaves instead like Internet
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
The legendary scientist Francis Crick first postulated in 2005 that the brain region known as the claustrum is the seat of consciousness. Researchers now posit that Crick may have been incorrect: They developed a new theory built on data that the claustrum behaves more like a high-speed Inte

How humans feel pain of others: A deep analysis
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A new study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience recorded from neurons of human patients to show that the pain of others is directly mapped onto neurons in the insula - a brain region critical for our own emotions.
