Single neurons in mouse sensorimotor cortex are organized by their activity features into distinct subpopulations with area-spanning footprints whose boundaries align closely with anatomical and ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a fundamental principle underlying how the human brain processes meaning across multiple languages. In a new study posted to the bioRxiv ...

Scientists uncovered a surprising four-layer structure hidden inside the hippocampal CA1 region, one of the brain’s major centers for memory, navigation, and emotion. Using advanced RNA imaging ...

Abstract: Deep neural networks have demonstrated exceptional performance in extracting task-specific representations from datasets, earning widespread recognition and application. However, the ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them—signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces—in a process known as endocytosis that is essential ...

Researchers at the UC Davis Department of Chemistry and Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics have come up with a new technique to create candidate drugs that engage the serotonin receptor ...

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 ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, known as ...

Neurons, also known as nerve cells, send and receive signals throughout your nervous system. While neurons have a lot in common with other types of cells, they’re structurally and functionally unique.
