This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

The same neuron can tell fruit flies to walk toward the smell of rotting fruit and speed up, according to new research from ...

Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

New research reveals that the developmental timing of fluoxetine (Prozac) treatment profoundly influences long-term mood and brain function.

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the cerbrum contains less than 20 percent of the neurons in our brain. Eighty ...
