New research shows that slow oscillations in the brain, which occur during deep sleep and anesthesia, are guided by neuronal excitability rather than structural anatomy. Using computational models and ...

Neurological disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, remain challenging to diagnose due to the absence of objective biomarkers. Current assessments largely rely on subjective clinical ...

New York—Anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness is accompanied by microscale changes in neural signaling patterns, according to a recent study. The results highlight the role of local network ...

Summary: Researchers studying fruit flies discovered that nerve cells sensing limb motion are turned off when the insect moves, allowing the brain to switch between stabilizing posture and enabling ...

Abstract: Soft-bodied crawling animals exhibit efficient and adaptive behaviors resulting from the synergy between morphological computation (e.g., a flexible soft body and anisotropic skin) and ...

Our work studies neural network controllers and observers with provable Lyapunov stability guarantees. Due to the complexity of neural networks and nonlinear system dynamics, it is often challenging ...

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has made a rare trip to Tibet and hailed the crushing of “separatism” in the once-restive region, as Beijing prepares for a looming struggle over the successor of the aging ...

This paper reports on an important study that aims to move beyond current experimental approaches in speech production by (1) investigating speech in the context of a fully interactive task and (2) ...

This paper reports an intracranial SEEG study of speech coordination, where participants synchronize their speech output with a virtual partner that is designed to vary its synchronization behavior.

The human eyelid is an intricate structure that plays a critical role in maintaining vision, but its neuromuscular control remains poorly understood. Here, we present high-resolution intramuscular ...
