Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify a pattern of gene expression that can be used to predict whether or ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that ...

A study published in Science on Feb. 1 reported a comprehensive database of single-neuron projectomes consisting of over 10,000 mouse hippocampal neurons, thus revealing the spatial connectivity ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...
