Janelia researchers are decoding how neurons carry out computations carefully calibrated to an animal's movement and environment to precisely regulate the release of neuromodulators—chemicals that ...

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) and collaborators in Japan have discovered particular neurons in the brain that monitor whether predictions made by fish actually come true. By ...

Virtual Reality experiments have illuminated the rhythmic glue that could keep animals moving in synchrony. Across nature, animals from swarming insects to herding mammals can organize into seemingly ...

Virtual reality offers psychological researchers the opportunity to study human cognition and behaviour in a highly controllable environment. Three-dimensional visual scenes can be created that ...
