Researchers recorded neural activity and blood flow in mice. Opposing neuron populations predicted blood flow more accurately ...

Interestingly, one neuron type present in CNN, which combines opponency for the cue but excitatory summation for the target at both locations, was not found in the mouse, suggesting that there might ...

Infections, chemicals, stress—these environmental factors influence the risk of developing psychiatric or neurological disorders, especially if they occur before birth. The biological mechanisms ...

For years, one of the simplest explanations for human intelligence was also one of the biggest: the human brain has an ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes - think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke - is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...

Neuronal Type Assignment from Connectivity (NTAC) transforms a connectome into a graph, and detects neuron types using "connectivity fingerprints” and groups the neuronal cell types in the connectome.

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

Researchers identified VIP inhibitory neurons in Huntington’s disease and used optogenetics to restore motor neuron activity in mice.

Altering a protein in the neurons that coordinate a rattlesnake’s movement made a slow slither neuron more like a speedy rattle neuron, showing one way evolution can generate new ways of moving. In ...
