which upends assumptions about the speed of learning and the role of the sensory cortex, and which the researchers believe ...

New research uncovers how the brain processes learning by identifying the exact moment an animal learns a new skill.

After making a mouse brain transparent in this way ... “There are ridiculously simple questions about the cortex that we can’t answer at all,” says Clay Reid, a former colleague of Jeff ...

This is the same type of neuron — a pyramidal cell — from the cortex of a mouse, chimp and human. The mouse brain has fewer of these cells and they are less well connected compared with the ...

In a huge collaborative effort, researchers profiled millions of cells to chart a cellular map of a mouse brain ... parts of the brain surprised the researchers. “We assumed that other parts of the ...

The researchers used fiber photometry systems to detect neurotransmitters, which involved injecting the mice with fluorescent ...

Brain-wide cell-type comparisons made ... Gene regulatory programs in the primary motor cortex of human, macaque, marmoset and mouse were investigated with single-cell multiomics assays ...

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain.

"Looking at a tiny part of the brain in a mouse, we can understand how the brain ... the team recorded the activity of neurons in the auditory cortex, an area of the brain associated with hearing ...
