National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive ...

a key brain region for navigation and memory. The study published today in Neuron, reveals that two types of hippocampal neurons work complementarily in mice to generate spatial maps that are more ...

The study is published in the journal Neuron. Place cells are ... challenging the idea that the brain relies on precise organization for its spatial map. "Our findings suggest that randomness ...

The brains of animals are the most complex structures on Earth. The human brain contains about eighty six billion nerve cells, or neurons, and an estimated two trillion synaptic connections, where ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

As we know very little about how a neuron functions, the researchers, in 2012, launched the Eyewire project that aims to make the neurological mapping of the brain more like a game than a tedious ...

The research involved studying movement control in mice using a combination of optogenetics (controlling neural activity with light), high-speed cortical imaging, and machine learning-based movement ...
