A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making.

New research reveals how the brain rapidly adapts to sensory changes using a feedback loop between the olfactory cortex and the olfactory bulb.

The vagus nerve does it all—tells your lungs to breathe, controls your heart rate, and even forms the foundation for a whole ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...

The brain interprets these sensory cues to understand what’s going ... It helps transmit nerve signals, or impulses, down a long axon. All neurons have a cell body. The cell body contains ...

Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron ... but this uses the brain and has to be learnt. For example, keeping hold of a hot object requires a nerve impulse to be sent to ...

The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord whereas the PNS includes neurons ... signals in the body while neurons in the CNS analyze information. Types of Neurons Sensory neurons The cell bodies of ...

Sensory systems are composed of receptors that sense the sensory stimuli, brain areas involved in sensory perception and neural pathways that connect them. A miniaturized electromechanical device ...

Treating the neurons and me — my mental states — in a synergistic way proved to speed up and enhance healing. It does for ...

It would not be surprising if hearing acuity impacted low-level acoustic processing of speech, particularly in sensory regions of the brain. However, the presence of a significant interaction ...

Sensory neurones carry electrical signals - nerve impulses - towards the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain). The signal starts in a receptor which detects a change. Relay neurones ...
