Evolutionary and computational models suggest that higher BK potassium-channel conductance may ease calcium-dependent ...
Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial connectomes in mammals, involving the mapping of the network of neurons and ...
Infections, chemicals, stress—these environmental factors influence the risk of developing psychiatric or neurological disorders, especially if they occur before birth. The biological mechanisms ...
The fruit fly brain is small enough to map in exquisite detail, but that does not mean its signaling systems are simple. A single neuromodulator can influence behaviors as varied as aggression, ...
A cell-type-resolved genetic screen shows that KCNIP2, a potassium-channel accessory protein, emerges as a protective ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
Scientists often use blood flow in the brain as a stand-in for neural activity. Generally, increases in neural activity are accompanied by increases in blood flow. But an array of studies over the ...

AI helps explain how covert attention works and uncovers new neuron types

"These neurons might be one of a variety mediating emergent attentional behavior," Eckstein said. Interestingly, one neuron type present in CNN, which combines opponency for the cue but excitatory ...
Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...
