New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

The same neuron can tell fruit flies to walk toward the smell of rotting fruit and speed up, according to new research from Yale scientists. Neurobiologists once believed that each neuron held a ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

In AD, synaptic plasticity, the brain’s ability to regulate the strength of synaptic connections between neurons, is significantly disrupted. This worsens over time, reducing cognitive and memory ...

The team reported on the method in Nature, in a paper titled “ Light-microscopy-based connectomic reconstruction of mammalian brain tissue,” in which they stated, “Here we present a ...

Principle of adaptive resolution. (A) For adaptive resolution hopping probe ion conductance microscopy, the scan area is first divided into equally sized squares (bottom). Before imaging each ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you're an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Neurons are the cells that govern brain ...

Leucokinin neurons integrate sweet and bitter taste inputs with starvation signals to regulate feeding initiation, balancing nutrient intake against the risk of toxin ingestion.

New Multiphoton Microscopy Module Enables Millisecond Neural Event Imaging at Single Neuron Resolution OptoVolt enables fluorescent voltage trace extraction. (Graphic: Business Wire) ...
