Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected, and their discovery could change how we understand Alzheimer's disease. Published in Cell ...
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...
Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the eyes see, not every neuron ends up answering the call to process properties of ...
How do we make decisions? Or rather, how do our neurons make decisions for us? Do individual neurons have a strong say or is the voice in the neural collective? One way to think about this question is ...

Scientists mapped every neural link in an adult fruit fly’s brain for the first time
Researchers have produced the first complete wiring diagram of an adult fruit fly brain, tracing roughly 139,255 neurons and ...
Neurons with less ZNF804A expression (-E3/E3, bottom row of microscope images and shown in green in responses) show increased connection strength between neurons. This was tested by chemically ...
After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...
A team at Harvard studying the social behavior of mice found that the brain treats isolation and loneliness in much the same way it processes hunger or thirst. Within the hypothalamus, the brain’s hub ...
