New USC research offers an unseen insight into how the brain shifts gears. The researchers have discovered that our innate ...

Memory formation, storage, and retrieval are fundamental processes that define who we are and how we interact with the world.

But there is growing evidence that different kinds of stimuli, including physical movement, can help us to refine how our ...

Serotonin neurons in the brainstem are not independent, as once thought, but interact to influence decision-making.

New research is revealing how specialized neurons give our brains an edge artificial intelligence can only dream of ...

Unprecedented dataset links neuronal activity to synaptic wiring at the millimeter scale, offering open-access tools for ...

Neurons—the nerve cells responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals throughout the body—are organized in tissue, tending to cluster together in groups according to how they function.

Findings challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts behavior.

This valuable study shows that locomotion-related modulations in the mouse visual cortex are not uniform but primarily affect neurons in muscarinic receptor-negative patches, which receive projections ...

A digital representation of neurons in a section of a mouse’s brain, part of a project to create the largest map to date of brain wiring and ... signals move from one neuron along fibres called ...

The brain really is an incredible organ, and neurons are the vital link between, well, everything. The brain is anything but ...

THIS image provided by the Allen Institute on April 8, shows a digital representation of neurons in a section of a mouse’s brain, part of a project to create the largest map to date of brain wiring ...
