Study reveals a potential link between respiration and neural activity changes in animal models.

In a new article published in eNeuro, fifteen leading scientists of the European Human Brain Project outline how a new culture of collaboration and an era of digitalization has transformed neuroscience research over the last decade.

“The way we study the brain has changed fundamentally in recent years,” says first author Katrin Amunts, HBP Scientific Director. “In the past, separate communities have often focused on specific aspects of neuroscience, and the problem was always how to link the different worlds, for example, in order to explain a certain cognitive function in terms of the underlying neurobiology.”

Making music together opens a unique route for inter-personal synchronisation that facilititates social bonding. This inter-personal synchronisation is enabled via the release of dopamine and oxytocine - hormones associated with reward and bonding, and via neural co-activation and synchronisation of brain networks implicated in social interaction, empathy and mentalising.

People can differ hugely in their ability to imagine the future, recall a past scene, or generally visualize anything that is not directly preceivable/not in front of them. Scientists from the university of Exeter discovered that this difference in visualisation ability has distinct neural correlates in the human brain; it correlates with the strength of the functional connectivity between individual's prefrontal cortex and their visual areas....

"Dr. Mauro Costa-Mattioli, professor and Cullen Foundation Endowed Chair in neuroscience and director of the Memory and Brain Research Center at Baylor, discovered with his team that different abnormal behaviors are interdependently regulated by the host's genes and microbiome. Specifically, the team found that in mouse models for neurodevelopmental disorders, hyperactivity is controlled by the host's genetics, whereas social behavior deficits are mediated by the gut microbiome."...

picture author Kevin Leconte Today's social media has turned into a virtual life platform, on which modern humans can compete for appreciation and from which they can derive psychologically rewarding experiences. Often these psychological rewards arrive in the form of positive feedback to our online behaviour, such as "likes" of our posts, or increase of the number of our profile followers....

Increased signal variability allows richer perceptual encoding and enables wider range, flexible behavioural responses A new paper published in Neuron by research team of the Max-Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, draws attention to a somewhat neglected feature of resting state brain activity- the neural noise. While the majority of scientific studies investigating perception and cognition have focused on identifying and interpreting "the signal in the noise" in physiological data, novel research, summarised in the paper, highlights the importance of the neural noise....
