Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they ...
The brain is never completely at rest. Even without external input, it produces spontaneous neural activity that creates synchronized fluctuations across different regions - a process known as ...
The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...
The brain constantly blends split-second reactions with slower, more thoughtful processing, and new research shows how it ...
In a groundbreaking achievement, Princeton University scientists have fully mapped the brain of an adult fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, unlocking new insights into how brains work. The feat marks ...
(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – December 23, 2024) Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle movement, but these signals typically pass through spinal interneurons before they reach their ...
