A new study reorganizes 8,000 fruit fly neurons into 200 modular ground plans using dual regulatory gene sets.

Infections, chemicals, stress—these environmental factors influence the risk of developing psychiatric or neurological disorders, especially if they occur before birth. The biological mechanisms ...

Neuronal Type Assignment from Connectivity (NTAC) transforms a connectome into a graph, and detects neuron types using "connectivity fingerprints” and groups the neuronal cell types in the connectome.

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 ...

For decades, textbooks told students the human brain contained 100 billion neurons. That figure, repeated so often it became ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

A decades-old challenge in neuroscience has been solved by harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to identify the electrical signatures of different types of brain cells for the first time, as part ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — 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 ...

Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence researchers have identified over 60 transcriptomic neuron types in the zebrafish optic tectum with nearly identical gene-expression profiles yet very ...
