Exposure to CO2 after traumatic experience strengthens fearful memories in mice

Frontiers

That is the conclusion of a recent in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience by neuroscientists from the University of Iowa, US. The authors also show that the memory-strengthening effect of CO2 only occurs when the gene acid-sensing ion channel-1a (ASIC1A) is functional in the mouse brain. Building on previous research.

Deep neural networks track eye movements during MRI scans

Physics World

To address this low utilization of eye tracking, researchers at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences developed DeepMReye , a convolutional neural network that uses the MR signal from the eyes for eye tracking, without the need for a camera.

Slightly lost bumblebees use scent to find their way home

Frontiers

The results are published in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience. In nature, these bumblebees nest in abandoned mouseholes, hidden under grass or leaves. This is especially important when the landscape suddenly changes, for example when familiar visual landmarks are blown away by wind.
