Mapping unknown territory
A detailed atlas of gene expression in the zebrafish brain When one travels through rough terrain, maps come in handy...
Aversive bimodal associations differently impact visual and...
Animals form sensory associations and store them as memories to guide behavioral decisions. Although unimodal learning has...
Neuroscientists illuminate how brain cells deep in the cortex...
How can we see what neurons deep in the cortex are doing during behavior? Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for...
Our Brain is a Prediction Machine that is Always Active
Our brain works a bit like the autocomplete function on your phone – it is constantly trying to guess the next word when...
The effect of the color red on brain waves
Red has a signaling and warning effect. Is this color specificity also reflected in the brain? Researchers at the Ernst...
How visual information travels from the retina to the midbrain
New Neuropixels technology provides evidence of mosaic-like neural connections For the first time, neuroscientists from...
Neural Synchronization is Strongest to the Spectral Flux of Slow...
Neural activity in the auditory system synchronizes to sound rhythms, and brain–environment synchronization is thought...
Sweet sap, savory ants
Woodpeckers taste sweet, but wrynecks—unusual woodpeckers that specialize on ants—lost the ability to taste...
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...
