A team from EON Systems has mapped the neurons in a fruit fly's brain and uploaded all 140,000 of them into what could only ...

Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of ...

To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...

Husniye Kantarci was part of a team that discovered the role of glial cells in controlling neural development, learning and numerous diseases. Husniye Kantarci and Brad Zuchero (left to right) and ...

A next-generation silicon brain probe called Neuropixels Ultra more than doubles the number of individual neurons scientists ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...

The neurons that make up our brains and nervous systems mature slowly over many months. And while this may be beneficial from an evolutionary standpoint, the slow pace makes growing cells to study ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have created the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila ...

Some adult neurons have projections that are amazingly long – thousands of times the length of their cell bodies in some cases. This means that during development, the growing cells need to be able to ...
