Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches, uncovering new ...

A new study reveals that pain and itch are processed by distinct neural circuits in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC).

Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that ...

More than a century later, the puzzle of nervous system organization—the intricately tangled mess that results from each neuron’s connections to thousands ... assembled into a comprehensive brain ...

Decoding accuracy was defined as the fraction of correctly labeled stimuli. For each decoder, the selection of the neuron populations was repeated 15 times. Rprefer and Rorthog are responses of each ...

These connections make up the brain’s wiring diagram. Current methods for revealing this wiring ... For neurons to communicate, one neuron must produce a signal called a ligand. This ligand can then ...

The mouse olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) repertoire is composed of 10 million cells and each expresses one olfactory receptor (OR) gene from a pool of over 1000. Thus, the nose is sub-stratified into ...

A neuromodulated synapse must therefore be informed in an efficient way about the neuromodulatory signal, which is typically generated by a population of neurons located on different machines than ...
