In the mammalian brain, auditory perception relies on the transmission of information from the thalamus to the cortex. For a long time, the medial geniculate body (MGB) has been considered the primary hub of the auditory thalamus, responsible for transmitting sound signals to the auditory cortex (Auc). However, whether other thalamic inputs also pa...
Academic Background Cognitive control is the ability to flexibly adjust behavior according to goals and contexts, and the prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a crucial role in this process. Previous research suggested that the PFC reads out rules from high-dimensional representations of task variables to guide behavior. However, increasing evidence indic...
Research Report on the Spatiotemporal Style Transfer Algorithm for Dynamic Visual Stimulus Generation Academic Background The encoding and processing of visual information has been a significant focus in the fields of neuroscience and vision science. With the rapid development of deep learning techniques, investigating the similarities between arti...
ONIX: An Open-Source Platform for Multimodal Neural Recording and Perturbation During Naturalistic Behavior Research Background and Significance In recent years, significant advances have been made in large-scale neural population recording technology and studies on animal behavior in the field of neuroscience. However, these two demands often conf...
Exploring the Crucial Role of the Motor Cortex in Basal Ganglia and Dynamic Motor Control Research Background and Motivation The role of the motor cortex (Motor Cortex, M1) in motor generation and regulation has long been a significant topic in neuroscience. The interaction between M1 and the striatum in selecting and executing goal-directed action...
New Gene Therapy Approach May Control Epileptic Seizures Caused by Focal Cortical Dysplasia Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) is a type of disorder caused by abnormal cortical development, often accompanied by drug-resistant epilepsy and cognitive and behavioral disorders. According to the classification criteria proposed by Najm et al. in 2022 for th...
Academic report: brainlife.io: A decentralized and open-source cloud platform supporting neuroscience research Background and Motivation Neuroscience research is rapidly developing, and the advancement of data standardization, management, and processing tools has made research more rigorous and transparent. However, this also brings about complex d...
Study of Neuroepithelial Genetic Markers and Prognosis in High-Grade Gliomas Background and Research Motivation High-grade gliomas are highly malignant brain tumors with generally poor patient prognosis. Previous preclinical model studies have suggested that interactions between neural and tumor cells drive tumor growth, but clinical validation of ...
Reactivation Strength in Memory is Modulated by Graph Distance in Cognitive Maps Research Background Memory formation and retrieval are among the crucial areas of research in neuroscience. Classic memory theories propose that memory depends on three distinct stages: encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. New episodic memories are formed through en...
Brain Clearance Mechanism Suppressed During Sleep and Anesthesia Background Clearing metabolic wastes and toxic substances from the brain is a crucial process for maintaining a healthy nervous system. However, the specific mechanism of this process has been debated. A widely discussed viewpoint suggests that the sleep state promotes the function of...
