We will explore how the unitary circuits develop and work, and elucidate the basic architecture of functional neural circuits in the cerebral cortex.

Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic functional units of the nervous system. Multiple interconnected neurons form a neural circuit and use electrical and chemical signals to quickly transmit ...

While essential for social learning and survival, the neural mechanisms ... Hee-sup at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental brain circuit that distinguishes these ...

HHMI researchers have identified a neural circuit in the subfornical organ that regulates thirst ... Their studies have identified the receptors for the five basic tastes (sweet, sour, bitter, umami ...

‘‘In the children who show a delay, the cognitive difficulties are the consequence of a lack of understanding of social interactions,’’ said Dr. Camilla Bellone, an associate professor at UNIGE’s ...

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish ... “It will accelerate our understanding of how these circuits function and the processes that ...
