The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
In a remarkable sequel to Volume I, this editorial explores the intricate temporal structure of neural processes that link sensory perception, motor control, and cognitive functions in the brain. Think of it like a dynamic symphony where different instruments play together at specific times to create a harmonious melody. By dissecting these temporal patterns, researchers […]
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by movement and cognitive dysfunction. HD is caused by a CAG expansion in exon 1 of the HTT gene that leads to a polyglutamine (PQ) repeat in the huntingtin protein, which aggregates in the brain and periphery. Previously, we used Drosophila models to determine that Htt-PQ aggregation […]
Imagine the hypothalamus as a master switchboard in your brain, controlling not only basic functions like hunger and thirst, but also determining what you learn and remember. While it was previously believed that the lateral hypothalamus only regulated feeding behaviors, recent research has shown that it plays a critical role in learning about food-related cues. […]
