1). In this example, one neuron (blue) receives constant input current that would cause it to fire at 25 Hz in the absence of coupling. The other (red) receives a ramping input current that would ...

Thus, the bird's brain was thought to be nearly all instinct driven. The dark and light blue regions seen on the ... These seven neuron clusters are similar among birds that are "vocal learners ...

Whether mice persist with a task, explore new options or give up comes down to the activity of three types of neuron in the brain. In experiments, researchers at University College London (UCL ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester discovered that in some areas of the brain neuron density varies in children with autism when compared to the ...

Researchers investigated the impact of glucocorticoids, a type of steroid hormone, on the early stages of brain development. They found a shift in neuron types, showing that the developing brain ...

A new technique reveals cells’ precise locations and functions in the brain. Its developers have already used it to identify a previously unknown neuron type. Dan is a News Editor at The Scientist. He ...

Neuroscience examines the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system. Neuroscientists use cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition ...

A fluorescent micrograph of a section of brain affected by Parkinson's disease. Neuron nuclei are blue, while the protein ...
