Researchers have shed new light on how the brain processes and synthesizes information. Findings help solve a longstanding mystery in neuroscience. For decades, scientists have focused on how the ...

Princeton University researchers have captured among the first recordings of neural activity in nearly the entire brain of a free-moving animal. The three-dimensional recordings could provide ...

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past studies suggest that specialized groups of neurons in the mammalian brain, ...

Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped researchers discover unprecedented details about how individual brain cells ...

Cortical Labs connected roughly 800,000 lab-grown human neurons to a high-density electrode array and let them interact with a simplified version of Doom, extending a line of research that began with ...

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 ...

This advance, led by Professor J. Joshua Yang and his team, doesn’t just simulate the brain’s behavior digitally, it physically recreates the electrochemical process of biological neurons. The new ...
