A study reveals unique brain activity during lucid dreaming. Using EEG data, the research identifies reduced beta-band power and increased gamma-band activity in specific brain regions.

The protein responsible for binding neural stem cells in the human brain, Neuro-cadherin, also plays a key role in stimulating their differentiation.

Using simple grayscale photos of the eye’s conjunctiva — the inner surface of the eyelid and the white part of the eye — a new machine learning tool can detect cases of anemia in school-age children.

Neurobiologists discovered that individual neurons can apply different plasticity rules in separate dendritic branches. This new understanding challenges prior assumptions of uniformity in synaptic changes and opens possibilities for improving AI.

Use of psilocybin, the hallucinogenic chemical found in what is known as “magic mushrooms,” has increased significantly nationwide since 2019, according to a new study.

A Northwestern University study explores how dopamine signals evolve during learning to avoid negative outcomes. In mice, dopamine activity in two regions of the nucleus accumbens shifts as they learn to avoid harmful events.

Researchers have discovered genetic hubs where DNA regions are brought together in three-dimensional space inside brain cancer cells called glioblastoma. This provides clues to how cancer-regulating circuitry allows cancer genes to communicate.

The researchers used motion-activated cameras, which filmed chimps sharing fermented fruits on 10 separate occasions.

Researchers have demonstrated that an existing drug can revive immune cells that are not functioning correctly. These findings provide leads for further research in patients admitted to the intensive care unit with sepsis.

Researchers have developed a promising next-generation anode material that could offer better fast-charging and longer lifespans than traditional graphite anodes.
