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 ...
