By applying machine-learning models to single-cell brain recordings taken from humans in conversation, a research team ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

A study in zebrafish shows that neuronal microexons regulate brain activity by modulating cAMP signaling. Loss of these ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These now include high ...

The altered presence of tiny fragments of neuronal genes, called microexons, causes hyperarousal in zebrafish. This is the ...

Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...

We are providing an unedited version of this manuscript to give early access to its findings. Before final publication, the manuscript will undergo further editing. Please note there may be errors ...

Neural interfaces are devices that can detect or modulate neuronal activity when placed in contact with the brain. They are already used to treat various conditions related to the nervous system.

The altered presence of tiny fragments of neuronal genes, called microexons, causes hyperarousal in zebrafish. This is the ...

Researchers discover that disrupted neuronal microexons cause a permanent spike in cAMP signaling, driving severe hyperarousal, insomnia, and hyperactivity.
