The hemispheres are not equal: How the brain is not symmetrical
Although the brain is divided into two halves, it is not exactly a mirror image. Some functions are processed more on the...
A molecular atlas of an Australian dragon’s brain sheds new...
These days, dragons are keeping Game of Thrones fans on their toes. But they are also providing important insights into...
Gamma rhythms – a phenomenon simpler than thought?
Gamma rhythms in the brain are neither self-sustaining nor regular. But many earlier models assumed just that. ESI...
Experience Required: A role for vision in the development of...
Brain function, much like many other areas of life, is all about balance. Excitatory neurons that increase the activity of...
