Researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered that the thickness of the brain's outer layer influences how individual neurons process information. The findings challenge the ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, ...

Researchers have developed a "laser-powered artificial neuron," which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This chip-based laser neuron mimics how human neurons work, but it's ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — ...

Closely related dopamine-releasing neurons in the olfactory bulb behave in fundamentally different ways depending on their physical structure.

In a recent study published in Current Biology01156-4), researchers uncovered how the human brain processes the concept of zero, revealing that specific neurons in the medial temporal lobe treat zero ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.
