The human brain is anything but static, shifting neural activity depending on time of day. In A Nutshell Scientists mapped active neurons in mouse brains at four different times of day and found the ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...

Past neuroscience studies suggest that memories of events that occurred at short time intervals from one another are often connected, via a process referred to as memory linking. While memory linking ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

There is such a specialized, complex network of neurons serving the gut that it is sometimes referred to as out second brain. This gastrointestinal nervous system, also known as the enteric nervous ...

The race to understand the brain has just crossed a new threshold, with a supercomputer-driven model that behaves less like a ...

Beneath the surface of your gut lies a vast network of neurons—as many as in your spinal cord. New research from the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) in Lisbon shows that in mice this "second brain" helps ...
