Is endurance all in your head? A new study reveals that VMH neurons in the brain direct the body to boost physical stamina.

Every thought, memory, and feeling we experience depends on trillions of tiny connection points in the brain called synapses.

Stress-recruited neurons can cause anxiety-like avoidance and increase peripheral corticosterone concentration.

This valuable study presents a plastic recurrent spiking network model that spontaneously generates repeating neuronal sequences under unstructured inputs. The authors provide solid evidence that, ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

Objectives: Brain‒computer interfaces (BCI) are currently used in clinical studies but mostly rely on population level signals that limit their precision, facing challenges of interpretability and ...

Researchers have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...
