Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date — a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire ...

The brain really is an incredible organ, and neurons are the vital link between, well, everything. The brain is anything but set in stone; how we think, feel, reason, and understand the world changes ...

Scientists have long known those signals move from one neuron along fibres called axons and dendrites, using synapses to jump to the next neuron. But there’s less known about the networks of ...

Researchers mapped 84,000 neurons in a mouse brain after it watched video clips. The 3D map links structure and activity.

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

Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend ...

New research reveals that individual neurons follow multiple learning rules simultaneously, challenging the long-held belief that synaptic plasticity operates uniformly throughout the brain.
