We are please to announce solicitation of abstracts for poster presentation at AREADNE 2012, 21-24 June 2012, our fourth meeting to be held at the Nomikos Conference Centre in…

Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience (CABN) offers theoretical, review, and primary research articles on behavior and brain processes in humans. Coverage includes normal function as well as patients with injuries or processes that influence brain function: neurological disorders, including both healthy and disordered aging; and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression.

The journal has an impact factor of 3.512 and is a publication of the…

I would like to draw your attention to a new brain cell simulator for iPhone and iPad. It's a great way to introduce passive models and Hodgkin-Huxley models in class, demonstrate at a meeting or run simulations on the go.

If you are looking for a particular object -- say a yellow pencil -- on a cluttered desk, how does your brain work to visually locate it?

For the first time, a team led by Carnegie Mellon University neuroscientists has identified how different neural regions communicate to determine what to visually pay attention to and what to ignore. This finding is a major discovery for visual cognition and will guide future research…

The Neuroscience Institute Cavalieri Ottolenghi (NICO) is a scientific Institute of the Cavalieri Ottolenghi foundation, based in Orbassano (Turin, Italy).

The mission of NICO is to perform research in the field of Neuroscience by combining the study of normal structure and function of the nervous system, the related pathological and degenerative processes as well as mechanisms of regeneration and repair.…

RM20 mil to help seven COEs with potential

We know that conscious experience can be entirely generated within the brain as in the case, for instance, when we dream and we are completely disconnected from the external world. However, we normally assess another individual's level of consciousness solely based on her/his ability to interact with the external environment. This discrepancy becomes particularly relevant in the case of patients who survive severe brain injuries, who may recover consciousness…

Neuroscientists Decode Crucial Component in Brain Signal Processing

As the year draws to an end, time has come to look back.

In less than a year's time our community has grown with nearly 900 new members! Currently, the top 5 locations of our members are United States, India, United Kingdom, Italy and Germany however with 107 different location we can certainly say The NeuroNetwork is a global network of neuroscientists studying the brain. We are very happy with the current status of The NeuroNetwork and hope you enjoy using. If you have any…

The advance offers a nontoxic way to study how the organ works, and how disease impairs it.

nteractions between neurons involve both chemical and electrical signaling. For decades, neuroscientists have searched for a noninvasive way to measure the electrical component. Achieving this could make it easier to study how the brain works, and how neurological disease impairs its functioning.

One promising approach is tracking neuronal electrical activity…

Success at math is often more about focusing attention and screening distractions (caused by threat and anxiety) ..than it is about activating areas of the brain actually involved with math calculation. Sian Beilock (University of Chicago) reports:

 “We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to separate anticipatory neural activity from what’s occurring while performing math. Increased activity in…

Voice recognition involves perceiving differences in the way people speak. Individuals with dyslexia, however, cannot do this. The problem is a slight auditory impairment. They can understand perfectly well what others are saying and who is speaking. They’re just not as sensitive to subtle phonic variations between speakers.

Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies

It was interesting for me to see a recent study in neuroscience that supports my theory of reading comprehension […

The Coma Science Group (CRCyclotron, University of Liège /Liège University Hospital), led by Dr Steven Laureys, has developed, along with its partners in London, Ontario, (Canada) and Cambridge (England), a portable test which will permit a simpler and less expensive diagnosis of 'vegetative' patients who still have consciousness, despite the fact that they do not have the means to express it.

The researchers' conclusions are published…
