A study using zebrafish reveals how brainstem neural networks guide eye movement, offering a new model that mimics these networks to predict their activity, potentially aiding eye disorder treatments and enhancing our grasp of short-term memory. Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and their collaborators have uncovered how connections in a network of brainstem neurons control...
In the late 1960s, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, including Professors Michael Sela and Ruth Arnon and Dr. Dvora Teitelbaum, developed synthetic molecules called copolymers. Initially intended to mimic multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal models, these compounds unexpectedly led to a breakthrough drug, Copaxone, used worldwide to treat...
A recent study published in Neuropsychologia has identified specific patterns of brain connectivity that can predict an individual’s tendency toward online shopping addiction. Using advanced brain imaging and predictive modeling techniques, researchers found that certain connections between key brain networks, such as the frontal-parietal network and default mode network, played...
A new study published in the Journal of Vision has unveiled how our brains detect faces even when presented with limited and ambiguous visual information. Using a specialized technique to suppress conscious awareness, the researchers found that stimuli resembling faces are processed more quickly, even when visual details are minimal....
