The brain’s cognitive capabilities, including perception, reasoning, learning, and decision-making, arise from the complex interplay among neuronal circuits. These circuits possess topologies and ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
Mouse and human brains have different functions that depend on their neuronal networks. We analyzed nanometer-scale three-dimensional structures of brain tissues of the mouse medial prefrontal cortex ...
Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...
The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...
The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, ...
Regenerating neurons may be one way to improve cognition. stanislavgusev/RooM via Getty Images Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory and learning in mice. But in humans, the technical ...
An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.
The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of internal organs such as the heart and gut, serving as a connection ...
Neurons tucked away in an ancient part of the brain control the ability to pay attention by suppressing distractions and directing focus. The discovery of these neurons in mice by Johns Hopkins ...
