The functioning of the brain relies on the precise organization of neuronal connections. In an article published in Developmental Cell, scientists show how neurons establish their connections ...
Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...
A new study shows that the cerebral cortex predicts the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memory ...
Most neuroscience research carried out up to date has primarily focused on neurons, the most renowned type of cell in the ...
The default mode network (DMN) is a set of interconnected brain regions known to be most active when humans are awake but not ...
The GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid)-ergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex are a diverse population of cells. Their diversity is manifested in every aspect of their phenotype, as evidenced by their ...
