In recent years many cortical functions have been linked to the cortex's columnar organization, within which microcircuits are proposed to mediate aspects of sensory processing. However, how the ...

A joint research team led by Dr. Xu Huatai from the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has demonstrated the unique design of the neural ...

These findings provide a solid microcircuit basis for a better understanding of hypothalamic functions. The study was published in Current Biology on June 2. The hypothalamus is a multinucleated ...

Scientists have developed an extremely efficient small-size energy storage, a micro-supercapacitor, which can be integrated directly inside a silicon microcircuit chip. VTT Technical Research Centre ...

Scientists at EPFL’s Blue Brain Project have developed a groundbreaking computational model of the thalamic microcircuit in the mouse brain, offering new insights into the role this region plays in ...

Besides making long-range connections between different brain regions, neurons also form complex local connections—or microcircuits—that represent a basic unit of neuronal communication. Several ...

Neural microcircuits consisting of a few neurons and their interconnections are small enough to be understood more completely than larger neural structures, whose complexity quickly becomes ...

Two University of Wyoming faculty members will study how to understand the microcircuit changes that occur in the brain’s prefrontal cortex during normal aging as well as disease progression in ...

Midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons are thought to guide learning via phasic elevations of firing in response to reward predicting stimuli. The mechanism for these signals remains unclear. Using ...

Linear Technology Corporation announced Qualified Manufacturer List (QML) Class V Standard Microcircuit Drawings (SMD) for some of the most widely used Radiation Hardened (RH) components. Part types ...
