FMI researchers have provided new insights into how the brain organizes and processes memories, thanks to a study that looks at the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurons. The paper is ...

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...

To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...

Recently the [Global Science Network] released a video of using an artificial brain to control an RC truck. The video shows a neural network comprised of eight artificial neurons assembled on ...

BIN1, a late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) genetic risk factor, is involved in many cellular phenomena, including vesicular trafficking and tau production. Now, in the August 26 Cell Reports, ...

A new study offers insights into how the gene neuropilin2 contributes to the development of behavioral changes associated with autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy. The gene neuropilin2 encodes a ...
