Pyramidal neurons have basal and apical dendrites, including an apical tuft. This preserved core structure suggests that they have conserved core functions, whereas structural variation in other areas ...

A diagram depicting the connectivity, where neurons are represented as points, and neurons with more similar connectivity are plotted closer together. Lines depict connections between neurons. The ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first ...

Researchers have discovered that expression of the ataxin‑7 gene – the cause of the neurological disorder spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 – has two regulators: a highly conserved, multi‑tasking protein ...

Targeting specific brain cells modulated memory retrieval and altered anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Essentially, scientists boosted the electrical activity between cells in the hypothalamus and the ...
