Brain receptor patterns separate sensory and cognitive networks

Receptor patterns define key organisational principles in the brain, scientists have discovered. An international team of researchers, studying macaque brains, have mapped out neurotransmitter receptors, revealing a potential role in distinguishing internal thoughts and emotions from those generated by external influences. The comprehensive dataset has been made publicly available, serving as a bridge linking different […]
