A tiny sensor implanted in Nagle's motor cortex reads
neural signals associated with arm movement, transmitting them via fiber - optic cable to processors that translate thoughts into actions.
During repeated trials at small set sizes where working memory is active, brain signals associated with RPE started out high in the first few trials, and then quickly dropped off — a sign that cognitive processes are informing
the neural signaling associated with reinforcement learning.

associated with ASD and certain other developmental disorders through changes in
signal flow between different structural components of behavior - driving
neural circuits,» said Bolshakov.
But Kennedy collaborator Frank Guenther,
associate professor of cognitive and
neural systems at Boston University, and his colleague Jonathan Brumberg recently worked out a system that translates
neural signals from Ramsey's implant into vocal form via a synthesiser that produces the corresponding sound.
It demonstrated a meta - language prediction capability from

In particular, genes that influence
neural signaling involving dopamine and serotonin are
associated with increased criminality, antisocial behavior and psychological disorders.
In the aging research, there are mixed findings on whether aging is
associated with increased or decreased amplitude of

signal gives us a new type of information on how the aging brain works.»
An emerging body of literature24, 25 shows that a subgroup of chronically aggressive children exhibit marked difficulty processing social cues that
signal the need to inhibit aggressive impulses.26 These findings have been attributed to reduced responding in specific
neural architecture
associated with stress responses and HPA axis regulation.
In the present study, we explored the psychological and
neural underpinnings of attachment - induced safety by examining whether viewing an attachment figure during a threatening experience — receiving physical pain — led to increased activity in a
neural region
associated with safety
signaling and a corresponding reduction in the threatening or distressing experience of physical pain.
