Neuroscientists have learned a lot—like which neurons and circuits are associated with different behaviors—by recording the ...

The human brain is constantly picking up patterns in everyday experiences — and can do so without conscious thought, finds a study of neuronal activity in people who had electrodes implanted in ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal aging — inevitable with ...

D clusters of brain cells are emerging as essential tools for understanding neural networks and studying neurological ...

Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester discovered that in some areas of the brain neuron density varies in children with autism when compared to the ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its ...

Non-invasive and invasive neurostimulation have been used to probe and shift cortical excitability, elicit evoked responses, and alter behavior and perception. For instance, neurostimulation can be ...

Measuring the activity of hundreds of neurons in macaque brains simultaneously provides further evidence that drift-diffusion dynamics underlie how decisions are made in the brain.

Two-photon (2P) fluorescence imaging through gradient index (GRIN) lens-based endoscopes is fundamental to investigate the functional properties of neural populations in deep brain circuits. However, ...
