Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory -- how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term ...

Your brain constantly juggles sensory information to make split-second decisions, but how? A new latent circuit model ...

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues ... cortex during decision-making is multifaceted and complex. For example, a neuron in the prefrontal cortex may only ...

A study sheds light on how networks in the brain detect new information, offering insight into disorders like schizophrenia.

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...
