Smaller plastic particles have more effects on neurons, the key information processing cells of the brain, new research from ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

An important chemical messenger that typically inhibits brain activity might sometimes do the opposite, according to new Yale ...

Scientists at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI), in collaboration with ZEISS and MetaCell, have developed a powerful new imaging pipeline called Neuroplex. As described in a ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no cure and limited treatment options. One of the earliest signs of ALS is overactive brain signals known as ...

Researchers develop Neuroplex, a pipeline combining miniscopes and confocal imaging to track 9 distinct neuron types in ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...

Tau tangles are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, but evidence suggests the real damage may come from ...

A project led by ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich has developed a platform detecting both optical and MRI data from biological tissues. Christened HyFMRI and described in Light Science & ...
