... stimuli. Their ultimate goal was to create a model that would describe not just neural response to the gratings, but to the complexities of natural scenes.
To test their model, they presented cats ... The First Smell Map Supports Idea That Universal Laws For Smell Are Hard-Wired In Brain
... 'smell map' based on the chemical properties of odor molecules. This map, which can predict the neural response to an unfamiliar smell, supports the idea that universal laws governing smell are hard- ... Weizmann Institute scientists produce the first smell map
... way it recognizes musical scales. They reexamined numerous previously published studies that measured the neural response patterns to smells in a variety of lab animals – from fruit flies to rats – ... NYU, Rutgers study shows how using mental strategies can alter the brain's reward circuitry
...
"Our findings demonstrated that emotion regulation strategies can successfully curb physiological and neural responses associated with the expectation of reward," said Delgado. "This is a first step ... Children are naturally prone to be empathic and moral
... by another individual.
"This study is the first to examine in young children both the neural response to pain in others and the impact of someone causing pain to someone else," said Jean Decety, ... Imiquimod, an immune response modifier, is dependent on the OGF-OGFr signaling pathway
... student Renee N. Donahue, in the Department of Neural & Behavioral Sciences and collaborator Moshe Rogosnitzky of MedInsight explored mechanisms responsible for the remarkable clinical action of this ... Olfactory fine-tuning helps fruit flies find their mates
... a male pheromone, a chemical sex attractant, also shifted subsequent neural responses to those stimulants, adjusting the response range to detect differences between higher levels of these odors.
... Context and personality key in understanding responses to emotional facial expressions
... striatum and ventral tegmental area (areas of the brain associated with reward processing), but this response was much weaker in participants with an avoidant attachment style. Angry faces, on the ... Sensitivity to antidepressants linked with TrkB-mediated neural proliferation
... hippocampal neurogenesis. In both cases, new neurons arise from neural progenitor cells (NPCs) that seem to be required for the behavioral response to ADs.
Brain-derived neurotrophic ... Is that song sexy or just so-so?
... network that was induced specifically by song.
Across most of the network, song-specific neural responses were higher in the "breeding" females than the "non-breeding" ones. But the effects of ... This is your brain on politics

The researchers also used neuroimaging to look at the neural responses of individuals who described themselves as partisan. They showed the ... Millisecond brain signals predict response to fast-acting antidepressant

A new study found that they could decode neural responses to speech to find out not only what was said but who said it, making me wonder if 'The Man' isn't well on the way to reading our minds with ... Determining responsibility and assigning punishment governed by different brain systems
A new study reveals that humans use different neural mechanisms for determining criminal responsibility and assigning an appropriate punishment. The research, published by Cell Press in the December ...
