A research team has identified the primary cause of sensory hypersensitivity in a mouse model of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A research team led by Director KIM Eunjoon of the Center for Synaptic ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

Researchers have discovered how two brain areas, neocortex and thalamus, work together to detect discrepancies between what animals expect from their environment and actual events. These prediction ...

Supported by a $2 million R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health, the Auerbach Lab at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology will examine how different genes associated ...

New research has uncovered how the brain dynamically adjusts its neural activity to prioritize more important information in working memory. The study, published in Science Advances, found that when ...

The traditional model of memory proposes that different types of long term memory are processed in separate brain modules.

Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers. Published online in Science on Oct. 30, the study shows that ...

Sensory hypersensitivity in mice with the Grin2b gene mutation found in patients is related to hyperactivity of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and hyperconnectivity between the ACC and other ...
