A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Cambridge in the U.K. and collaborating institutions have shown that serotonin 2C receptor in the brain regulates memory in people and ...

Animal metacognition and memory encompass the capacity of nonhuman species to monitor and regulate their own cognitive processes, particularly those related to remembering. Research in this area ...

For decades, Alzheimer’s disease has been described as a one‑way street, a slow erosion of memory that could at best be ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, affects nearly 40 million individuals globally, resulting in a gradual loss of memory and independence. Despite extensive research over the ...

Of all the animals on the planet, humans have by far the highest ability to recall past events, referred to as memory. However, that doesn’t mean that other animals’ memories are poor, just not as ...

LaBonne is president of the Society for Developmental Biology and the Erastus Otis Haven professor of molecular biosciences at Northwestern University. Imagine a world without lifesaving medicines, ...

In recent months, the Food and Drug Administration and National Institutes of Health have announced new initiatives to reduce and replace animal testing in biomedical research. Central to these ...

New research suggests Alzheimer’s may start far earlier than previously thought, driven by a hidden toxic protein in the brain. Scientists found that an experimental drug, NU-9, blocks this early ...
