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 ...

Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells that ...

What am I looking at? These images are a series of 1-millimeter-thick slices from front to back through the brain of a mouse, with ChAT neurons (1) in purple and pyramidal neurons (2) in green. The ...

Ripples maintain time-locked occurrence across the septo-temporal axis and hemispheres while showing local phase coupling, revealing a dual mode of synchrony in CA1 network dynamics.

A novel viral tool (FLEN) is designed, and used to monitor changes in the intrinsic and synaptic properties of engram cells quickly (3–6 hours) following encoding of a memory.
