The research of Kafui Dzirasa M.D. is complex and interdisciplinary, spanning the fields of engineering, neuroscience, medicine, and machine learning. But the motivation behind his work is as simple ...

Scientists recorded the brain's sleep switch firing in real time - and the feedback loop they uncovered reshapes what we know about deep sleep.

Scientists watched the brain’s sleep switch fire in real time — and the feedback loop they found changes how we understand ...

UC Berkeley just mapped the brain circuit behind your nightly growth hormone surge - here's why your first 3 hours of sleep matter.

Vision feels like a camera feed from the eyes, but new work on a hidden brain circuit suggests what we see is constantly edited by internal signals about how alert, focused, or distracted we are.

Scientists used a tool called SynTrogo to edit brain circuits in mice, showing that trimming select synapses can make ...

Deep within the brain, scientists have uncovered a hidden “switch” that may decide whether pain fades away—or lingers for ...

New research in mice from scientists at New York University Langone Health (NYU Langone Health) and their colleagues elsewhere identifies brain circuits that make memories more stable during learning.

Using sensors and a light-activated drug, the team mapped neural pathways used by endogenous opioids to send pain relief ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a brain circuit that can drive repetitive and compulsive behaviours in mice, even when natural rewards such as food or social contact are ...

According to Deco, this model not only allows a brain to be digitally reproduced but it "provides far better information for predicting diseases and symptoms than traditional measures". As reported by ...
