How Human Vision is shaped by Rhythmic Brain Activity?
Brainwaves, or neural oscillations, are rhythmic or repeating patterns of neuronal activity in the central nervous system. Many mechanisms inside individual neurons or connections between…

Important Brain Systems for Structuring Memories throughout Time
The hippocampus is a brain area that is important for memory formation and appears to be involved in navigation. “Place” cells in the hippocampus respond…
Memory Pattern is Determined by how Brain Networks Develop in Childhood
The human brain is organized into a hierarchy of functional systems that grow during childhood and adolescence to facilitate dynamic attention and behavior control. However,…
The Rhythms of Vocalization are created by a Novel Brainstem Circuit
According to the current bio-psycho-social model of mother-infant connections, early interactions create the foundation of the developing infant’s perspective of himself and the world. Nonverbal…
How a Gene Variant Protects against Alzheimer’s Disease – Behind a Beneficial Mutation
Each human cell has the instructions required for the cell to perform its function. These instructions are comprised of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which is densely…
A new Learning and Memory Mechanism has been Discovered
The brain is a complicated organ that regulates our body’s thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger, and every other process. The…
Autism Involves the Interaction of Brain Networks
The human brain’s fundamental function is dynamic, giving rise to a plethora of behavioral subtypes that fluctuate distinctively across multiple timelines. The interplay between core-periphery…
The Circadian Cycle Regulates the Clearance of Protein related to Alzheimer’s
Circadian Rhythm Disturbances (CRDs) afflict up to a quarter of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients at some point in their disease. The key factors associated with…
The Growth of Brain Cells is Linked to the Risk of Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is connected with anatomical and functional abnormalities in the cortex, as well as changes in the connections between different cortical regions. Recent developments in…
Researchers Discovered a Critical Regulator of Blood Stem Cell Growth
According to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine experts, a protein that controls how DNA is wrapped within chromosomes plays an important role in…
