The simple activity of walking through a room jumpstarts the neurons in the human brain. An explosion of electrochemical events or “neuronal spikes” appear at various times during the action. These ...

Based on the DA mediation, some sophisticated neuronal functions, including integration-and-firing, synaptic facilitation-induced spike broadening and DA-tunable spiking number and width, were ...

A landmark study led by UCLA Health has begun to unravel one of the fundamental mysteries in neuroscience – how the human brain encodes and makes sense of the flow of time and experiences. The study, ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend recommended or read the latest world news, your brain stores many of these ...

The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers between neurons largely hidden. Now an engineered protein that lights up in ...
