A network of connections in the brain that are connected to seizures in persons with epilepsy have been found by researchers from the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology.
To learn to socialize, zebrafish need to trust their gut. Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control social behaviour, new UO research in zebrafish shows. Pruning is essential for the development of normal social behavior.
Social behavior is a complex phenomenon involving many parts of the brain. Researchers found that gut microorganisms cut out excess connections in brain circuits for social development.
Washington [US], July 30 (ANI): The process through which our brain developed into a language-ready brain has been better understood by neuroscientists. The network of connections between language centres in our brains has grown more than previously imagined, compared to the connections betw
Washington [US], July 25 (ANI): Neuroscientists have gained new insight into how our brain evolved into a language-ready brain. Compared to chimpanzee brains, the pattern of connections of language areas in our brain has expanded more than previously thought.
Washington [US], March 25 (ANI): An approach by researchers at the University of California shows that despite the functional importance of connections between far-reaching regions of the brain, the actual number of these connections is low.
