New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...

Based on the DA mediation, some sophisticated neuronal functions, including integration-and-firing, synaptic facilitation-induced spike broadening and DA-tunable spiking number and width, were ...

As animals experience new things, the connections between neurons, called synapses, strengthen or weaken in response to events and the activity they cause in the brain. Neuroscientists believe that ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

Neurons that fire together sometimes wire together. PASIEKA/Science Photo Library via Getty Images Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try ...

A next-generation silicon brain probe called Neuropixels Ultra more than doubles the number of individual neurons scientists can detect in a single recording session, according to a study published in ...

Understanding how the brain encodes behavior is essential to tackling neurodegenerative disorders, physical disabilities, and other life-altering conditions. But that’s hardly an easy task. Mapping ...
