Scientists characterized the largest sample of a neural circuit to date to improve artificial intelligence models and better ...

Researchers have discovered another layer of complexity in gene expression, which could help explain how we're able to have so many billions of neurons in our brain. SMU (Southern Methodist University ...

Neuroscientists are zeroing in on how special kinds of brain cells help us see things that aren’t actually there. ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Scientists have discovered specialized IC-encoder neurons that make the brain “see” illusions, such as squares or triangles that aren’t truly there.

Our long-term research goal is to decipher the gene regulatory network that directs the embryonic development of various types of neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC, aka ARH).
