Activating certain neurons during fertile phases set off rejection behavior, while silencing them in non-receptive females ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze.

Dendrites are branch-like extensions of a neuron (nerve cell) that act as its main receiving structures. Their primary job is to collect signals from other neurons and pass them to the neuron's main ...

A short-term memory circuit, for example, will remain in a single preferred state until a new stimulus comes along, causing ...

However, questions remain about the rules and parameters that help set up that type of shifting system. One possibility comes ...

Researchers have developed the most detailed 3D computational models of key brain regions, including the hippocampus and ...

An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 ...

CPP clusters offer a breakthrough in delivering therapeutics across biological barriers, with potential applications in ...

This article reports a useful set of findings on how electrophysiological response properties of neurons correlate with their position in the brain. The evidence currently remains incomplete, with ...
