Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected, and their discovery could change how we understand Alzheimer's disease. Published in Cell ...
Our first neurons form during the earliest weeks of development in the womb. As the brain takes shape, those neurons move about and cluster with others to create brain regions. Then they begin the ...
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...
Researchers have produced the first complete wiring diagram of an adult fruit fly brain, tracing roughly 139,255 neurons and ...
Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the eyes see, not every neuron ends up answering the call to process properties of ...
Mapping the human brain's network of interconnections, known as the connectome is typically done with help from computational tools because recreating interconnections between different brain regions ...
Neurons with less ZNF804A expression (-E3/E3, bottom row of microscope images and shown in green in responses) show increased connection strength between neurons. This was tested by chemically ...
