Our brain neurons have the remarkable ability to fire ... have managed to reconstruct this common input by analyzing neuron firing rates. Credit must be given to the creator.

This live look at a mouse's brain tracks neurons firing by measuring oxygen levels, much like a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan. This image however, was created with ...

A mysterious electromagnetic mechanism may be more important than the firing of neurons in our brain to explain our awareness ...

"In receptive females, they received more inhibitory signals, reducing their likelihood of firing. It's a testament to how ...

A team from the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) has pinpointed a critical neural circuit for sexual rejection, identifying a set of brain cells that play a crucial role in determining whether a female ...

While this theory appears to be gathering steam, there’s still much more to explore. Ephaptic fields and other theories of ...

This article reports a useful set of findings on how electrophysiological response properties of neurons correlate with their position in the brain. The evidence currently remains incomplete, with ...

Scientists have successfully reprogrammed astroglia, a type of brain support cell, into neurons that mimic specific ...

Memories are created in a matter of seconds. Researchers now may have begun to uncover how behavioral timescale learning ...

For example, if you go to grab your keys and they aren’t where you left them on the hallway table, you experience absence. Previously, researchers assumed that absence was represented in the brain by ...
