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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but for developing neurons, this first step relies on collaboration from multiple signaling pathways.
