Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...

A team of neuroscientists at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, has been able to map single neural connections over long distances in the brain. "These are the first measurements of ...

Harvard researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a ...

Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published ...

Harvard researchers built a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) chip packed with 4,096 microhole electrode arrays, allowing them to record electrical activity across several neural cells.

New research shows how CCN1, a protein secreted by astrocytes, is critical for stabilizing neural circuits in adulthood.

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Roberto F. Galán, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Ken Loparo, the Nord Professor of Engineering, will present “Making Sense Out of Noise in ...
