Study demonstrated that the Homer1 gene improves focus by reducing “noise” in the prefrontal cortex, with implications for studying attention disorders.

Attention disorders such as ADHD involve a breakdown in our ability to separate signal from noise. The brain is constantly ...

Attention disorders such as ADHD arise when the brain struggles to separate important signals from irrelevant noise. At any ...

Working in a mouse model, UC Davis researchers are able to distinguish brain cells activated by a psychedelic drug. This image shows the prefrontal cortex of a mouse injected with scFLARE2 (purple) ...

Researchers find that altered Homer1 gene signaling quiets brain activity and improves attention in mice, raising new ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...

Macaques are often studied because their brains share many similarities with human brains. However, this study revealed an ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The new ...

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making. The findings from Princeton neuroscientists may one day improve how ...
