For years, one of the simplest explanations for human intelligence was also one of the biggest: the human brain has an enormous number of neurons. It also has an even more enormous web of connections ...

A new study proves individual human cortical neurons have the computational complexity of an entire deep artificial neural ...

The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and ...

Consider the brake. Not the engine, which gets all the attention, but the brake, the quiet thing that decides how fast a system is allowed to go.

A recent study published in Cell Death & Disease suggests that specific cellular abnormalities in the brain associated with ...

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 ...

Within 58.065 CA1 pyramidal cells, they visualized more than 330,000 RNA molecules—the genetic messages that show when and where genes are turned on. By tracing these activity patterns, the ...

In this valuable study, the authors use a cutting-edge method to perform voltage imaging of CA1 pyramidal cells in head-fixed mice running on a track while local field potentials (LFPs) were recorded ...

Every day, our brains adapt and learn, whether it's mastering a new skill or recalling a familiar tune. Central to this adaptability is synaptic plasticity—the process by which synapses, the ...
