What makes the human brain so unique? A clue might come from a recent study that reports the discovery of new brain cells: novel neurons ...

Summary: Scientists have identified a previously unseen layered organization inside one of the brain’s most important memory hubs. The CA1 region of the hippocampus was found to contain four distinct ...

A new study published in Psychiatry Research provides evidence that certain brain cells are physically smaller in individuals with schizophrenia and that this size difference is related to the ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...

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 ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

7 January 2025, Leuven – Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and ...

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

Summary: Layer 5 pyramidal neurons, crucial for brain information processing, vary significantly in their synaptic protein composition based on neuron type. Research shows that intratelencephalic (IT) ...

Abstract: Simulating the method of neurons in the human brain that process signals is crucial for constructing a neural network with biological interpretability. However, existing deep neural networks ...
