Researchers have long sought to understand the biological mechanisms that underlie learning. We know that the brain creates links and networks among neurons as we learn and form memories. Synaptic ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

High-resolution microscopy now enabled an international research team to enlarge the knowledge about species-specific differences of the architecture of cortical neurons. High-resolution microscopy ...
