Researchers identify key rules for how visual cortex neurons organize thousands of synaptic inputs based on distance and clustering.
It is a dogma in neuroscience that certain brain cells respond in the same way to the same thing. Specific neurons always fire, for example, when we see particular shapes and colours; other neurons ...
Electrical synapses containing Connexin 36 (Cx36) represent the main means for direct electrical communication among neurons in the mammalian nervous system. However, little is kn ...
Researchers develop Neuroplex, a pipeline combining miniscopes and confocal imaging to track 9 distinct neuron types in behaving mice.
When a mouse sweeps a single whisker across a textured surface, a tight cluster of neurons in its brain lights up within ...
