Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception 1. The brain is ...

In higher brain structures involved in cognition, such as the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, they are especially vital for cognitive function. NMDA receptors are heteromeric tetramers composed ...
