The human working memory (WM) is the cognitive system responsible for the temporary storage and processing of information vital to task completion. In contrast, human long-term memory (LTM) is the ...

Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries ...

A series of recent studies in mice and rats has mapped specific brain circuits that appear to drive chronic pain, identifying precise neural pathways that could eventually become targets for ...

We first took a phenomenological approach and investigated how this oscillator depended on temperature. We found that it behaves similar to a cold sensory neuron—being inactive over a temperature ...

Converting one type of cell to another—for example, a skin cell to a neuron—can be done through a process that requires the ...
