New findings could explain how alterations in the coordination of small groups of neurons, either by pathologies or anesthetics, could lead to alterations in consciousness.
Two Columbia researchers are collaborating on a project that seeks to understand what motivates us to pay attention to certain pieces of information and invest in acquiring them.
A new Columbia study highlights the key role this gene plays in essential biological processes and offers a promising new target for combating PTSD, a disorder that impacts women more than men.
A Columbia team harnesses powerful technology to uncover never-before-seen details of the nervous system, demonstrating SCAPE’s broad potential to decipher the brain.
Research led by Randy Bruno, a principal investigator at Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute, demonstrates that the brain’s primitive sensory region also participates in sophisticated learning.
