The mind-brain problem is to bridge relations between in higher mental events and in lower neural events. To address this, some mathematical models have been proposed to explain how the brain can represent the discriminative structure of qualia, but they remain unresolved due to a lack of validation methods. To...

This paper discusses a mechanism for integrating locomotion with cognition in robots. We demonstrate an attentional ability model that can dynamically change the focus of its perceptual area by integrating attention and perception to generate behavior. The proposed model considers both internal sensory information and also external sensory information. We...

This microscopic image of a portion of the rodent brain highlights a set of cells known as AgRP neurons (stained magenta), which sit at the base of the hypothalamus. The cells are involved in appetite control; their position near the bloodstream allows them to easily to get signals about the...

The gamer, known for playing Dead by Daylight, dies after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease....

A recent study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology has shed light on the association between excessive salt consumption and cognitive impairment resulting from hypertension. The post Excessive salt consumption linked to hypertension-induced dementia appeared first on Open Access Government....

The development of comparative gene editing strategies improves the translatability of animal research....

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) refer to systems that integrate communication, control, and computational elements into physical processes to facilitate the control of physical systems and effective monitoring. The systems are designed to interact with the physical world, monitor and control the physical processes while in operation, and generate data. Deep Neural...

Scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have published a study suggesting that adhering to a Mediterranean-style ketogenic diet could potentially reduce Alzheimer’s disease......

Sepsis drives brain microglia to eliminate complement tagged synapses resulting in neuronal damage and memory loss....

For the first time after more than a decade of work by researchers in France and Switzerland, a paralyzed man has regained the ability to walk naturally using only his thoughts thanks to two implants that restored communication between his brain and spinal cord. The press conference was held in...

Florida Atlantic University and CINVESTAV, Mexico City, conducted a ground-breaking study exploring the effects of long-term running on a network of adult-born neurons. The post Running keeps adult-born neurons wired and boosts memory appeared first on Open Access Government....
