For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first large-scale recording of individual neuron activity across the entire mouse brain.

The communication network in the developing brain builds when neurons partner up to form contact points called synapses, allowing signals to pass from one cell to another. At the same time, a web of ...

The hippocampus follows a "tabula plena" model, starting with dense, random connections that are pruned into an efficient ...

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 ...

Engineers have found a way to fine-tune tiny artificial neurons to fire like real brain cells.
