Sao Paulo: Ever wondered why some people comfortably walk between skyscrapers on a high-wire while others freeze on the mere thought of climbing off escalators in a shopping mall? It could be the presence of a certain type of cells in the brain’s hippocampus, a study has found. The findings showed that neurons known as […]

London: Scientists have identified the brain neurons that evoke aggression, setting the stage for formulating new strategies to prevent damaging actions triggered by arousal of such a feeling. According to the researchers, a group of neurons in the ventral premammillary nucleus (PMv) of the hypothalamus — an evolutionarily well-preserved part of the brain that controls […]

New York: Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based automated process that can trace the shapes of active neurons as accurately as human researchers, that too in a fraction of the time. The new technique, based on using AI to interpret video images, addresses a critical roadblock in neuron analysis, allowing […]
