The survival of an animal depends critically on the ability of the nervous system to detect and transform sensory stimuli into appropriate motor actions. In the presence of a looming aerial predator ...

The human brain is known to contain a wide range of cell types, which have different roles and functions. The processes via which cells in the brain, particularly its outermost layer (i.e., the ...

Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence researchers have identified over 60 transcriptomic neuron types in the zebrafish optic tectum with nearly identical gene-expression profiles yet very ...

Prefrontal parvalbumin (PV) neurons play crucial roles in various distinct functions, while malfunction of PV-neurons also has critical contributions to various brain diseases, including both ...

Neurons with less ZNF804A expression (-E3/E3, bottom row of microscope images and shown in green in responses) show increased connection strength between neurons. This was tested by chemically ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes - think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke - is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...
