Neuroscience Monkeys Experience the Visual World The Same Way People Do (Neuroscience) 30 Mar 2021 When humans look out at a visual landscape like a sunset or a beautiful overlook, we experience something — we have a conscious awareness of what that scene looks like.…
Neuroscience Stimulating Brain Pathways Shows Origins of Human Language and Memory (Neuroscience) 26 Jan 2021 Scientists have identified that the evolutionary development of human and primate brains may have been similar for communication and memory. Although speech and language are unique to humans, experts have…
Neuroscience T Cells Linked to Myelin Implicated in MS-Like Disease in Monkeys (Neuroscience) 16 Jan 2021 Some of the T cell epitopes targeting myelin in monkeys were the same as those found in humans with multiple sclerosis. Researchers say linking these specific cells opens the doors…
Neuroscience Monkey See Others, Monkey Do: How The Brain Allows Actions Based On Social Cues (Neuroscience) 2 Nov 2020 Researchers at NIPS in Japan show that information flow between two regions in the front of the brain makes it possible for monkeys to correctly interpret social cues. In baseball,…
Neuroscience How Do Basal Ganglia Neurons Convey Information For The Control Of Voluntary Movements? (Neuroscience) 27 Oct 2020 It is common that neurons transmit information to another group of neurons by increasing or decreasing their activity, i.e. "firing rate changes". In addition to firing rate changes, synchronized activity…
Neuroscience Primates Aren’t Quite Frogs (Neuroscience) 24 Oct 2020 Spinal modules in macaques can independently control forelimb force direction and magnitude. Researchers in Japan demonstrated for the first time the 'spinal motor module hypothesis' in the primate arm, opening…
