Researchers identify key rules for how visual cortex neurons organize thousands of synaptic inputs based on distance and clustering.
Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the ...
Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...
New research has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning. New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in ...
How do we make decisions? Or rather, how do our neurons make decisions for us? Do individual neurons have a strong say or is the voice in the neural collective? One way to think about this question is ...
A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across the Pacific, a team of American engineers wrapped a soft electronic mesh ...
