Neurobiologists look at the brains of different animals. They are conducting research on the zebra fish's brain and how it responds with different movements.
Synapses or neural connections in our brain are how we are able to process information and remember things. These connections happen in milliseconds and allow us and animals to make split second decisions.
Scientists are trying to understand how the brain forms and processes emotions. They are conducting research on the brain patterns of positive and negative emotions to understand the brain a little bit better.
Scientists are studying tadpoles to look at how their neural circuits develop. These neural circuits are made up of many neurons. Neurons generate electrical and chemical signals in order to communicate with one another.
Researchers are trying to understand how the brain functions during sleep. All animals sleep and have a circadian clock. This clock tells the body when to sleep and when to wake.
