Scientists have discovered how stress can lead to serious mental health problems. To better understand the function of type I ...

Recording the activity of large populations of single neurons in the brain over long periods of time is crucial to further our understanding of neural circuits, to enable novel medical device-based ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Researchers have used a novel manufacturing technique to create a minimally invasive, customizable sensor that can wirelessly record deep brain activity down to a resolution of one or two neurons. The ...

A new ultra-small and ultra-flexible electronic neural implant, delivered via blood vessels, can record single-neuron activity deep within the brains of rats, according to new study. "This technology ...

Understanding the intricate web of connections within the human brain remains one of the greatest challenges in science. This complex network of billions of neurons, communicating through brief ...

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 ...
