Scientists have developed a powerful new method for selectively and reversibly breaking connections between brain cells—a ...

They found that in a critical subregion, the dentate gyrus, stimulated mice had significantly more synapses. The team not only examined gene expression across individual cells, but also analyzed ...

In their mathematical framework for how systems of cells can encode and process information, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts argued that each brain cell, or neuron, could be thought ... not of ...

Within the brain are circuits of neurons that communicate with one another via junctions known as synapses. The pre-synaptic neuron, which sends the signal, releases proteins known as ...

and derived datasets—such as 3D neuron reconstructions and annotated synapses—have been made freely available for the scientific community. This integration bridges scales, from single-cell tuning ...

Modellers have long found this loop intriguing because delayed negative feedback loops are a classic electrical circuit design for oscillators ... the discovery of multiple neuron populations within ...
