Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence researchers have identified over 60 transcriptomic neuron types in the zebrafish optic tectum with nearly identical gene-expression profiles yet very ...

The human brain is known to contain a wide range of cell types, which have different roles and functions. The processes via which cells in the brain, particularly its outermost layer (i.e., the ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

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.

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

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

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 ...
