Neural Excitability, Synapses, and Glia
Brain rhythms define distinct networks
The brain is much more than the sum of its parts, and these parts interact via complex networks. Researchers at the Ernst...
Learning to see better
The flash of an image on the retina sends millions of neurons to work. ESI scientists show that their responses become...
The goal in mind
Scientists discover the brain’s internal goal map enabling animals to navigate precisely to a chosen...

Researchers at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI) have uncovered a surprisingly complex yet...
Old dog learns a new trick
Neuronal ribosomes dynamically change their composition in a context-dependent manner. Ribosomes are large, multi-protein...
A sinusoidal transformation of the visual field is the basis for...
Retinotopic maps of many visual areas are thought to follow the fundamental principles described for the primary visual...
Brain cells work remotely
