Stress-Sensitive Neurons May Have a Powerful Effect on Our Entire Brain
A small population of nerve cells appears to be responsible for blood flow and neural activity across the entire brain, findings that could have significant implications in the study of sleep, dementia, and overall brain health. The type of cell is referred to as a type-I nNOS neuron. Found in sparse numbers mostly in deep cortical layers, they are considered to be vulnerable to mental stress. To understand more about the type-I nNOS neuron's ro…
Ten million neurons, 26 billion synapses and 86 interconnected brain regions. That’s the ‘robot portrait’ of one of the most detailed and realistic simulations ever made of an animal’s brain. Specifically, of a mouse’s cerebral cortex, something that from now on will make it possible to study this surface layer of the brain in an entirely new way: simulating in the virtual world diseases such as Alzheimer’s or epilepsy to observe in detail how d…
Scientists Built a Digital Mouse Brain and It’s Wildly Realistic
A global team harnessed the Fugaku supercomputer to build one of the largest and most realistic virtual mouse cortex models ever created. The digital brain behaves like a real one, allowing scientists to study disease progression, neural dynamics, and potential treatments safely in silico. Combining biological datasets with powerful modeling software, the international team proved [...]
What we say is as significant to the brain as the events we participate in. If a teenager frequently says, "I can't," neural networks associated with failure and shame become increasingly active. And if they regularly repeat, "I don't know how yet, but I can try," new neural pathways begin to form that support a sense of agency and resilience. How does the brain listen to words?
