How the brain gets wired up matters. Consider the neurons involved in the sense of smell. Hook them up wrong, and suddenly ...

Neural circuits produce electrical patterns very early in the brain's development process, even before senses are active.

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers perform simultaneous positron emission tomography (PET)-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess the pharmacodynamics of ...

By rewiring a fruit fly brain, researchers have identified attractive and repulsive molecules that drive brain circuit ...

A new framework that causes artificial neural networks to mimic how real neural networks operate in the brain has been ...

Taking an audience of hundreds on a tour around the body, seven speakers at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory's symposium "Circuits of ...

Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches, uncovering new details about how the brain organises learned vocalisations such as birdsong.

In the brain, molecular information is transmitted between cells through neural circuits. Synapses establish connections between the pathways that run from one area to another, allowing the most ...
