Figure 1. Diagram showing an electrically active cell in a neuronal culture and the process of recording its transmembrane potential for further analysis Neurons are cells that enable the brain to ...

But its neural underpinnings were a mystery until Wadia and a team reported in the journal Science that imagined and ...

For many years, a dominant view in neuroscience was that neurons in the inferotemporal (IT) cortex—a critical center in the ...

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

The ability to analyze the brain's neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, such as controlling artificial limbs and enhancing human ...

The advent of high-density recording technologies, such as Neuropixels and large-scale calcium imaging, has provided an unprecedented look into the ...

For the first time, researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and Amsterdam UMC have identified what happens in neural networks deep within the brain during obsessive thoughts and ...

The strength of certain neural connections can predict how well someone can learn math, and mildly electrically stimulating these networks can boost learning, according to a study published in the ...

Researchers developed SynTrogo, a molecular tool enabling targeted synapse removal via engineered neuron–astrocyte ...

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: ...
