A new breakthrough technology, co-developed by UCL scientists, that simultaneously records and manipulates neuron activity deep within the brain could transform our understanding of neural circuits ...

Lynn applied his model to study the brains of mice and the worm C. elegans. He found that 90% of neuronal activity in the mouse data involved basic, one input-one output interactions. In the worm data ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

A project led by ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich has developed a platform detecting both optical and MRI data from biological tissues. Christened HyFMRI and described in Light Science & ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
