The Role of Occipitotemporal Network in Rapid Reading - An fMRI-based Study Background Reading is the most effective cognitive means for humans to acquire new knowledge. Although most native English-speaking adults read at an average speed of about 200 to 400 words per minute (w/min), many people hope to increase their reading speed to acquire new ...

Revealing Different Cognitive Mechanisms of the Ebbinghaus Illusion Through Neural Oscillations Academic Background Human perception of size in vision is not entirely faithful to the physical world and is highly dependent on context. For example, when an object is surrounded by several smaller objects, it appears larger than when surrounded by larg...

In the latest research paper “Chemokine CCL2 Promotes Excitatory Synaptic Transmission in Hippocampal Neurons via GluA1 Subunit Trafficking” published in “Neurosci. Bull.”, researchers from multiple institutions, including the Shanghai Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the School of Life Sciences, Peking University, have d...

Study on Myosin Va-dependent NMDA Receptor Transport Mechanism in Hippocampal Neurons In hippocampal neurons, NMDA receptors (N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor, abbreviated as NMDAR) are a subtype of glutamate receptors, crucial for regulating postsynaptic responses and various brain functions. The number of NMDARs in the postsynaptic region can change...

Background Introduction Sterile neuroinflammation is an important factor driving various neurological diseases. Myelin debris, released during the demyelination process in various neurological diseases (such as stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), multiple sclerosis (MS), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and neurodegenerative diseases), can act as an inf...
