The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new method for selectively and reversibly breaking connections between brain cells — a leap forward that could transform how we study the brain processes and, one ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before ...

Interestingly, one neuron type present in CNN, which combines opponency for the cue but excitatory summation for the target at both locations, was not found in the mouse, suggesting that there might ...
