Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This barrier tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called junctions. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

When a person's hearing and vision are uncompromised and function at a relatively high level, the human brain is able to take ...

This manuscript addresses the role of alpha oscillations in sensory gain control. The authors use an attention-cuing task in an initial EEG study followed by a separate MEG replication study to ...

Here, the authors show the factors that predict how memorable or forgettable new words are and show a region of human cortex that is sensitive to word memorability. Neural mechanisms underlying ...

Notably, this form of mild restraint stress did not significantly impact glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in the primary auditory cortex of the brain. To determine the impact of repetitive ...

Researchers have developed a computational framework that maps how the brain processes speech during real-world conversations. Using electrocorticography (ECoG) and AI speech models, the study ...

The authors report that neurons in auditory cortex respond to mismatches in locomotion ... Based on deviations between predictions and actual sensory input, primary sensory areas of cortex have been ...

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a rare type of dementia. It is caused by damage to parts of the brain that control our language, personality, emotions and behaviour. In most cases, PPA is caused ...

Neurons in the primary auditory cortex (A1) respond differentially to ILDs of simple stimuli such as tones and noise bands, but the extent to which this applies to complex natural sounds, such as ...

"That means we get your auditory cortex to basically release this voltage burst that sweeps across your brain and interferes with other regions. "Some people who have worn Elemind call it a brain ...
