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 ...

Understanding the behavior of tiny droplets in our cells could aid the search for new treatments. A team of Leiden ...

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 ...
