Generating adaptive behavioral responses to emotionally salient stimuli requires evaluation of complex associations...
In the zone for memories
Scientists discover that the mysterious ‘zone of uncertainty’ enables the brain to rapidly form new memories The...
How visual information travels from the retina to the midbrain
New Neuropixels technology provides evidence of mosaic-like neural connections For the first time, neuroscientists from...
Different flavors of inhibition save the day
Scientists gain insights on how deprivation-induced synaptic changes affect excitatory and inhibitory firing rates in the...
Gamma rhythms – a phenomenon simpler than thought?
Gamma rhythms in the brain are neither self-sustaining nor regular. But many earlier models assumed just that. ESI...
Silence for thought: special interneuron networks in the human...
Scientists map prominent differences in the neural circuits of mice, monkeys, and human The analysis of the human brain is...
Hitchhiking through the nerve cell
Cellular power plants carry along blueprints to make new proteins at their destination “If you’re going on a...
