Brain Activity of Dogs - Neurofrontiers Română Today’s prompt is asking us to talk about the funniest scientific discovery from our field. Now, we don’t know if what we’re going to talk about is really the funniest one because, unfortunatel...

It turns out, there is an entire subfield dedicated to dog neuroscience. No, it’s not cute dogs in lab coats doing fun brain experiments, but it’s still pretty awesome.

Holding the Line: How Haar Measure, Functional Symmetry, and Compactness Force the Riemann Hypothesis We prove that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function ζ(s) lie on the critical line Re(s) = 1/2. We establish this result via three independent proofs using different mathematical framework...

Day 2: Primary sensory cortices don’t process just one info type.
V1, for example, also gets info from other senses, the motor and even motivational systems.

A bit disappointing that separation isn’t so neat after all. But pretty cool that info is integrated from very early perception.

On the English Bias in Science Communication - Neurofrontiers Română In the scientific world, English has become the dominant language. Most scientific articles are published in English, most advanced science books are written in English, and most scientific con...

How does the dominance of English in science influence science communication? What effects does it have on the scientific education of the population? And how can we counteract them?

Measuring Human Intracranial Activity - Neurofrontiers Did you know that we can measure human intracranial activity? Read more about this method in our current article.

Wait, we can do that? In short, yes, but only under very specific circumstances.

Progesterone in the brain - Neurofrontiers Progesterone is a sex hormone with broad effects beyond the reproductive system, in particular in the brain.

Progesterone is another sex hormone best known for its effects on the female reproductive system. Similar to estrogens, however, it’s becoming increasingly clearer that progesterone impacts many more systems in the body, both in females and in males.

Cotard’s syndrome is characterized by the belief that one is dead. It’s an eerie reminder that reality is constructed by the brain. But do we actually know what brain changes lead to this belief?

Analyzing a virtual neuron - part 1 - Neurofrontiers This article shows how to conduct a basic model analysis for the Hodgkin-Huxley model and discusses pre-analysis considerations.

Off With Their Heads! - Neurofrontiers Sergio Canavero claims head transplantation will soon become reality. He is wrong. In this post, we debunk each of his claims.

No Link Between Serotonin and Depression? - Neurofrontiers A new meta-analysis claims to show that there is no link between low serotonin and depression. But is that really new?

Somehow the serotonin paper (the one claiming to "prove no link between serotonin and depression") makes still makes the rounds every once in a while. Here's the deal with its claims.

Does AI Understand? - Neurofrontiers In this post, we look at human understanding, how AI works, and whether that means AI understands like we do.

Two years ago, I thought this was all very basic information and *everyone* would soon grasp that AI does not, in fact, understand. Back then, I was disappointed that I couldn’t write anything of more substance. Today…well, today I’m just disappointed.

What helps the brain stay healthy - Neurofrontiers There are some simple ways to maintain brain health throughout your lifespan, without needing fancy gimmicks. Here we outline six of them.

We often write about what affects the brain, not so much about what’s good for it. It’s definitely an implicit assumption on my side that everyone knows that already. Then again, maybe I’m wrong, let’s see.
