Based on the DA mediation, some sophisticated neuronal functions, including integration-and-firing, synaptic facilitation-induced spike broadening and DA-tunable spiking number and width, were ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Effectively mimicking the unmatched visual capacities of the human brain while operating within stringent energy constraints poses a formidable challenge for artificial ...

New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

A critical function performed by visual systems is the fast and reliable detection of features within the environment, such as moving objects or approaching threats. Neurons predicted to encode these ...
