Prior to your study, how much was known about the way brain circuits develop? How has your recent study advanced our understanding? There's a tremendous amount known about brain circuit development.

The neuronal circuits of the neocortex are at the root of our idiosyncratic ability to perceive the world and conduct meaningful interactions with our surroundings. Neocortical circuits, through their ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. Although previous ...

Short-lived neural connections in the mouse brain help prime sensory circuits, forever affecting the mouse's sense of touch. Neuroscientists have discovered that a receptor protein named mGluR1 helps ...

Using a new approach for studying live embryonic mouse brains at single-cell resolution, researchers headed by a team at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB) have ...

Several brain circuits that identify emotions are solidified early in development and include diverse regions beyond the amygdala, according to new research in children, adolescents, and young adults.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials could potentially be used to develop advanced monolithic integrated circuits. However, despite impressive demonstrations of single devices and simple circuits—in some ...

Researchers at Skoltech have developed an ultra-compact electro-optic modulator based on silicon photonics and plasmonics ...
