Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that helps explain why growing up in a stimulating environment enhances ...

New research shows that childhood environments shape lifelong memory through a single molecular switch that controls learning-related gene activity.

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal ...

A collaboration between SISSA's Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. The study, recently published in Neuron, ...

A new framework that causes artificial neural networks to mimic how real neural networks operate in the brain has been developed by a RIKEN neuroscientist and his collaborator. In addition to shedding ...

Researchers have discovered how two brain areas, neocortex and thalamus, work together to detect discrepancies between what animals expect from their environment and actual events. These prediction ...

A research team has identified the primary cause of sensory hypersensitivity in a mouse model of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A research team led by Director KIM Eunjoon of the Center for Synaptic ...

In this study, researchers from Japan propose "rigid-autonomous phase sequences (RAPS)" as a novel theoretical framework to explain the diverse symptoms and challenges associated with autism spectrum ...

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations — it’s a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few ...
