Bodily self-consciousness is linked to multisensory integration and is particularly dependent on vestibular perception providing the brain with the main sensory cues about body motion and location in space. Vestibular and visual inputs are permanently bala ...
The brain is a complex system, composed of multiple neural units interconnected at different spatial and temporal scales. Diffusion MRI allows probing in vivo the anatomical connectivity between different cortical areas through white matter tracts. In para ...
Human brain is organized by a large number of functionally correlated but spatially distributed cortical neurons. Cognitive processes are usually associated with dynamic interactions among multiple brain regions. Therefore, the understanding of brain funct ...
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is accompanied by resting-state alterations, including abnormal activity, connectivity and asymmetry of the default-mode network (DMN). Concurrently, recent studies suggested a link between ADHD and the prese ...
Behavioral resistance protects insects from microbial infection. However, signals inducing insect hygiene behavior are still relatively unexplored. Our previous study demonstrated that olfactory signals from microbes enhance insect hygiene behavior, and gu ...
Accurate perception of taste information is crucial for animal survival. In adult Drosophila, gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs) perceive chemical stimuli of one specific gustatory modality associated with a stereotyped behavioural response, such as aversio ...
The olfactory system, like other sensory systems, can detect specific stimuli of interest amidst complex, varying backgrounds. To gain insight into the neural mechanisms underlying this ability, we imaged responses of mouse olfactory bulb glomeruli to mixt ...
The idea that intentions make the difference between voluntary and non-voluntary behaviors is simple and intuitive. At the same time, we lack an understanding of how voluntary actions actually come about, and the unquestioned appeal to intentions as discre ...
Inside the human brain there are 86 Billion neurons exchanging electrical impulses to allow reaction, homoeostasis and intelligence. Their coarse organization has been described, leaving us with a fair understanding of macrocircuitry. The microcircuitry of ...
In physics “entrainment” refers to the synchronization of two coupled oscillators with similar fundamental frequencies. In behavioral science, entrainment refers to the tendency of humans to synchronize their movements with rhythmic stimuli. Here, we asked ...
