The functioning of the brain relies on the precise organization of neuronal connections. In an article published in ...

Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

Interrupting signals exchanged between tumors and the nervous system could become a critical pillar of cancer care ...

However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...

The study explores molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity - the strengthening or weakening of neuronal connections that enable learning and memory.

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...
