The atlas revealed a missing transition step in neuronal development and one that Özel refers to as "the most striking finding of the paper." The team showed that identity is not simply passed down ...

Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial connectomes in mammals, involving the mapping of the network of neurons and ...

A new discovery by neuroscientists at Brown University's Carney Institute for Brain Science challenges long-held beliefs in ...

Now, using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), UC Santa Barbara researchers Sudhanshu Srivastava, Miguel Eckstein and William Wang have uncovered the underpinnings of covert attention, and in the ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

The fruit fly brain is small enough to map in exquisite detail, but that does not mean its signaling systems are simple. A single neuromodulator can influence behaviors as varied as aggression, ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory -- how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term ...

They created a library of the different electrical signatures for each type of neuron, which then allowed them to train an AI algorithm that can automatically recognise five different types of neurons ...

A brain contains hundreds or thousands of different kinds of neurons, each with its own shape, connections and function. Yet ...
