BEIJING -- Chinese scientists have newly proposed a strategy for brain-inspired neural circuit evolution, shedding light on developing spiking neural networks with better biological plausibility and ...

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has revealed that mice spontaneously help ...

By identifying a dedicated neural circuit for vicarious fear ... and the central amygdala (CeA)—differentially contribute to fear processing. The BNST plays a more targeted role in vicarious fear, and ...

While essential for social learning and survival, the neural mechanisms distinguishing ... has uncovered a fundamental brain circuit that distinguishes these two types of fear.

The anti-anxiety andhallucination-inducing qualities of psychedelic drugs work through different neural circuits, according to research using a mouse model. The work is published Nov. 15 in Science.

Inserm and the CEA, decided to explore the amygdala and observe how it functions during depressive episodes. Their findings suggest that a depressive state alters certain specific neural circuits, ...

Light stimulation The neural circuit stimulated by the researchers corresponds to 10%-12% of the nerve cells in the periaqueductal gray. They used optogenetics to activate the neuron cluster ...

Figure 1. Neural circuits for extinction, retrieval and retrieval under stress. During extinction the IL exerts inhibitory control over the BLA and CeA, particularly through its inputs into the ITCs, ...

An electronic scaffold can promote brain regeneration and simultaneously monitor the functional rewiring of neural circuits in mice following a brain lesion. This multimodal, 3D electronic ...

In the case of brain circuits, these connections between different brain regions mediate neural activity: if one brain region is activated, it will send information to the other brain regions it is ...
