This gives researchers fast and flexible imaging for a range of novel experiments, including single-cell electrophysiology and wide-field calcium imaging. Researchers can build upon their existing ...

Findings challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain ...

New research reveals that individual neurons follow multiple learning rules simultaneously, challenging the long-held belief that synaptic plasticity operates uniformly throughout the brain.

How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song or directions to a friend's house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...

This would be like having a single neuron that fires when you see a photograph of your grandmother, hear her voice, read her name or perhaps even smell her familiar perfume. This single neuron ...

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow ...

In a study published in eLight, researchers from Cornell University revealed an new imaging technology that can visualize brain activity at single-cell resolution. DEEPscope, the cutting-edge ...

have advanced our understanding of the functional and morphological characteristics of synaptic connections between many neuron types. In particular, two important principles have emerged from ...

This is a movie showing a dendritic segment of a layer 2/3 pyramidal neuron expressing GCaMP6s (blue) and CyRFP1 (red) during spontaneous calcium dynamics in the motor cortex of a lightly ...
