Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial ...

International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

Image showing human neurons derived from stem cells by Assistant Professor Soham Chanda and his team at Colorado State University. Newly published research from Colorado State University answers ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand ...

Neuronal Type Assignment from Connectivity (NTAC) transforms a connectome into a graph, and detects neuron types using ...

Researchers discover the SELK neuron, a single-cell decision-maker in fruit flies that weighs sweet vs. bitter signals to determine whether to eat or flee.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is not only a highly aggressive brain tumor with poor prognosis but also a major contributor to neurobehavioral dysfunction, profoundly ...

How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song, or directions to a friend’s house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...
