A project at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) has developed a new way to image neural activity in live animals. Described in Biomedical Optics Express, the device is a miniaturized ...

Neuro—what?

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

Explore new insights into neurodegenerative therapies as researchers observe learning mechanisms in the living brain.

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet incoming messages are the release of ...

Researchers have developed a new way to decipher the language of the brain by listening to and recording the fastest and faintest communications signals of neurons. This allows scientists to watch ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

This is an important study on the sensory roles of Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CBF-cn) in mammals. The authors identify PKD2L1 as the predominant pH-sensing channel CBF-cn and show how the ...

Nonlinear dendritic integration in single presubicular neurons provides a mechanism for combining vestibular-based head-direction signals and visual landmark signals to anchor the brain’s internal ...
