Researchers have developed a method to reconstruct videos based on the brain activity of mice, opening up new possibilities for studying how the brain transforms visual signals into internal representations. This work provides deeper insight into the differences between objective reality and the way the brain perceives the world.
A new study has shown that inherited genetics influence not only the risk of developing cancer, but also how tumors form. These findings highlight the importance of a personalized approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Учёные выяснили, что повышенное потребление воды после стресса связано с работой особой нейронной цепи, которая снижает тревожность. Это открытие может привести к новым подходам в лечении тревожных расстройств.
American neurobiologists have demonstrated that artificially reproducing brain activity typical of sleep in awake mice can help restore memory without the need for full sleep. In the future, researchers plan to test this method on humans, but for now, it is not possible to completely replace sleep.
Scientists have identified a specific neural circuit in the brain that plays a key role in anxiety and social isolation. Restoring balance in this circuit in mice reduced symptoms of anxious and depressive behavior, opening up new possibilities for the treatment of affective disorders.
Новое исследование показало, что обонятельные нейроны в носу мышей организованы в четкие полосы по типу рецептора, а не распределены случайно. Это открытие может помочь в разработке методов восстановления обоняния у людей.
Scientists have developed a flexible eye implant that enables blind mice to perceive infrared light without damaging eye tissue. This new technology could expand treatment options for blindness, but its effectiveness and perception in humans remain unknown.
A study has shown that powdered matcha green tea reduces the frequency of sneezing in allergic rhinitis by acting as a neuromodulator and blocking the nerve signals that trigger this reflex. However, matcha does not eliminate the underlying cause of the allergy and does not affect immunity or gut microbiota.
Experiments on mice have shown that the drug P7C3-A20 can fully restore memory and cognitive functions even in the later stages of Alzheimer's disease, opening up new possibilities for dementia therapy.
A new study has found that the consumption of food emulsifiers by mice during pregnancy and lactation may negatively affect the gut microbiota of their offspring, increasing the risk of inflammatory diseases and obesity. The researchers emphasize the need for further studies to assess the long-term impact of these additives on the health of future generations.
Studies have shown that by observing the facial expressions of mice, it is possible to determine not only their emotions but also their decision-making strategies. Analyzing subtle facial movements reveals complex cognitive processes and the simultaneous consideration of alternatives, opening up new possibilities for non-invasive diagnosis of mental and neurodegenerative disorders.
American scientists have discovered how the brain fills in missing details, creating illusions based on past experiences. Experiments with mice revealed that certain neurons respond to illusory contours even in the absence of a visual stimulus.
A new large-scale study has revealed that expectations and decision-making are not formed in separate centers of the brain, but rather through a distributed network spanning multiple regions. This discovery changes our understanding of how the brain works and highlights its complex, interconnected structure.
