Facial expression control starts in a very old part of the nervous system. In the brain stem sits the facial nucleus, which ...

Scientists have uncovered a way to manipulate the pathway in monkey brains that puts the brakes on motivation.

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part ...

A nanomaterial based on a platform developed by Professor Samuel Stupp crosses the blood-brain barrier and targets harmful ...

Abstract: Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have gained substantial attention, particularly for motor imagery (MI) that facilitates direct brain-to-device communication ...

This study in neonatal rats revealed that the common inhaled pediatric anesthetic, sevoflurane, impairs neurogenesis and ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to deal with the solution of the inverse kinematics problem in Robotic arms. A two links, two degree of freedom (dof) planar robot arm (manipulator) is simulated ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a previously uncharacterized neural circuit that directly links emotional processing to arousal. In the pathway, GABAergic neurons in the bed ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Emotional states and stress strongly influence sleep-wake regulation. The amygdala and its related structures have long been implicated in regulating arousal. However, the underlying ...
