A new MIT study finds that somatostatin-expressing neurons follow a unique trajectory when forming connections in the brain’s ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Emergent properties and new neuron types We think of attention as a spotlight or zoom in our brain that focuses on something in our visual field and devotes resources to that area, improving how we ...

Researchers at the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have identified a previously unknown pattern of organization in one ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...

Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a highly efficient conversion method that can produce more than 10 neurons from a single skin cell. If replicated in human cells, this approach ...
