| Reinterpreting our brain's body maps Posted: 21 Jan 2022 09:48 AM PST Our brain maps out our body to facilitate accurate motor control. For a century, the body map has been thought to have applied to all types of motor actions. Now, a research group has revealed that the body relies on multiple maps based on the choice of motor system. |
| AI light-field camera reads 3D facial expressions Posted: 21 Jan 2022 06:43 AM PST Machine-learned, light-field camera reads facial expressions from high-contrast illumination invariant 3D facial images. |
| Motor proteins haul precious cargo in neurons: How can we control their movement? Posted: 20 Jan 2022 01:51 PM PST Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. |
| Mapping dementia-linked protein interactions yields potential new treatment targets Posted: 20 Jan 2022 10:51 AM PST By mapping all the protein interactions of a dementia-linked protein in the brain called Tau, a team of investigators has created a road map for identifying potential new treatment targets for Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. |
| Posted: 20 Jan 2022 07:34 AM PST A team of researchers has identified a neural network which is responsible for generating tic disorders. Targeting of this network via deep brain stimulation delivered by a pacemaker-like device has resulted in the alleviation of symptoms in people with Tourette syndrome. The researchers' findings could serve as a basis for improving the treatment of people with severe tic disorders. |
| Estrogen-regulated brain circuit helps females control obesity Posted: 19 Jan 2022 11:28 AM PST Researchers identified an estrogen-activated neurocircuit that stimulates thermogenesis, or body heat production, and physical activity in animal models. |
| When people 'click' they respond faster to each other Posted: 19 Jan 2022 09:14 AM PST When two people are on the same page in a conversation, sometimes their minds just 'click.' A new study demonstrates that clicking isn't just a figure of speech but is predicted by 'response times' in a conversation or the amount of time between when one person stops talking and the other person starts. |
