Connectivity mapping revealed a streamlined architecture: nearly 50,000 local neurons feed into 4,500 projection neurons, which transmit visual information to the central brain through 352 ...

Before the connectome was available, neuroscientists weren't sure if inhibitory neurons target specific cells in a given network, rather than just affecting local neurons that happen to be in ...

Neurobiologists discovered that individual neurons can apply different plasticity rules in separate dendritic branches. This ...

Researchers have long sought to understand the biological mechanisms that underlie learning. We know that the brain forms ...
