DeepLabCut uses Artificial Intelligence to track the movements of animals
Seeing on the Quick: New Insights into Active Vision in the Brain
Tübingen neuroscientists expand on role of superior colliculus – disregarded area in brainstem processes visual stimuli on its own
Enhancing brain plasticity through strong magnetic waves
New study of Dirk Jancke published in PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America)
The inner clock in music
Theo Geisel's and Viola Priesemann's team found universal laws of human music performance.
Ready for Exascale
Researchers find algorithm for large-scale brain simulations on next-generation supercomputers.
Beating a flight path to food
The waggle dance of the honeybee is a classical paradigm in behavioral biology. LMU neurobiologists have now investigated how the neuronal circuits process and encode the information communicated during the dance.
Puberty not only a matter of hormones
When rats are touched at their genitals, their brain changes and puberty accelerates. Bernstein researchers at the Bernstein Center Berlin report that the representation of the genitals in the cortex doubles in size.
