In a study published in Science today, Mingsha Zhang, a neuroscientist at Beijing Normal University, focused on the thalamus.

Using a mathematical model, scientists explored how the human brain might represent information about physical spaces and ...

Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought ...

The researchers discussed how NCC regulates the balance between different types of brain cells, such as neural progenitors, neurons, and glial cells, ensuring the proper structure and function of ...

Evolution of neuronal cell classes and types in the vertebrate retina Brain structure varies greatly among vertebrates, but the basic plan of the retina is nearly invariant. This shared plan ...

The researchers tested their idea on grid cells ... along one dimension in the brain, combined with local neural interactions, could explain the entire structure. The grid cells naturally sort ...
