Alexander Betley and colleagues have pinpointed a specific brain circuit in mice that appears to set limits on how long the animals can run, tying endurance to neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus ...

Researchers identify brain neurons that become active after exercise and help determine how much endurance improves with repeated training.

Recent neuroscience studies have been investigating how the stimulation of some nerves, particularly the vagus nerve, using electrical pulses affects neural activity in the mammalian brain. The vagus ...

The work reveals that the brain — in mice and, presumably, in humans — is actively involved in the development of endurance, the ability to get better at a physical activity with repeated practice, ...

Scientists at Cornell University have created mini virtual reality headsets for mice. These MouseGoggles aren't just to help the critters unwind after a long day in the lab; they offer researchers a ...

The CatWalk test relies on the run of mice across the platform to measure a constant speed with low variation. Mice usually require a stimulus to walk to the end of the catwalk. However, such stimuli ...

Researchers at TUM trained artificial neural networks using biological data from the early visual system development. These networks completed tasks more quickly and accurately than those without such ...
