Sensory experience and time perception are interwoven in the somatosensory cortex. In this brain region, the neuronal codes for both percepts are carried together, "multiplexed" in a common neuronal n...
Chloride ion flows that enter the cells play an important role in the duplication of glioblastoma cells, a highly aggressive brain tumor. This is the finding of research recently published in the jour...
To accurately perceive the direction of moving objects, rats may exploit a small but very useful cluster of visual neurons, which seem to work in the same way as the "pattern cells" found in the cereb...
Cognitive reserve - the term given to the capacity to maximise cognitive performance through differential engagement of cerebral networks or alternative cognitive strategies - protects the cognitive f...
What happens in our nose when neurons come in contact with a smell? As the recent COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated, from a medical and scientific point of view our sense of smell is as important as it i...
