Study shows new evidence of age-related decline in the brain's master circadian clock
(Medical Xpress) -- A new study of the brain's master circadian clock — known as the suprachiasmatic nucleus, or SCN — reveals that a key pattern of rhythmic neural activity begins to decline by middle age. The ...

'Can you hear me now?' Researchers detail how neurons decide how to transmit information
There are billions of neurons in the brain and at any given time tens of thousands of these neurons might be trying to send signals to one another. Much like a person trying to be heard by his friend across ...

Sensory detection and discrimination: Study reveals neural basis of rapid brain adaptation
(PhysOrg.com) -- You detect an object flying at your head. What do you do? You probably first move out of the way — and then you try to determine what the object is. Your brain is able to quickly switch ...

Neuronal diversity makes a difference, study says
Much like snowflakes, no two neurons are exactly alike. But it's not the size or shape that sets one neuron apart from another, it's the way it responds to incoming stimuli. Carnegie Mellon University researchers ...
