This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience become the first to fully characterize cell activity from a little relay station in the centre of the human brain. This aids our understanding ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between ...

Scientists are learning how the brain knows what’s happening throughout the body, and how that process might go awry in some psychiatric disorders. By Carl Zimmer Last year, Ardem Patapoutian got a ...

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

Imagine watching the brain not as a finished organ but as a city under construction, where every neuron is a worker changing jobs as the skyline rises. A series of papers in Nature published on ...

The scientists said understanding the brain's structural journey "will help us identify when and how its wiring is vulnerable to disruption" in future. The human brain goes through five major stages ...

The brain goes through five distinct phases in life, with key turning points at ages nine, 32, 66 and 83, scientists have revealed. Around 4,000 people up to the age of 90 had scans to reveal the ...
