FMI researchers have provided new insights into how the brain organizes and processes memories, thanks to a study that looks at the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurons. The paper is ...

Self-sustained neural activity maintained through local recurrent connections is of fundamental importance to cortical function. Converging theoretical and experimental evidence indicates that ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

Gotcha! Scientists spot where, and possibly how, p-tau217 first appears in the brain. In a postmortem study of individuals spanning the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum, researchers led by Michiko Sekiya ...

A sensitive perception of the environment is crucial for guiding our behavior. However, an overly sensitive response of the brain's neural circuits to stimuli can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders ...

What am I looking at? This is a video showing a section of the cerebral cortex from a mouse. The video was taken by moving the focal plane of a microscope from the bottom of a thick section of brain ...

Astrocytes are notoriously two-faced—calmly coddling neurons one minute, then ruthlessly consuming their synapses the next. Why these dramatic mood swings? Blame the EphA4 receptor, according to a ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, ...
