For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

To understand the full relationship between brain activity and behavior, scientists need a way to map this relationship for all of the neurons across a whole brain, something that has so far remained ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...

Researchers have used a novel manufacturing technique to create a minimally invasive, customizable sensor that can wirelessly record deep brain activity down to a resolution of one or two neurons. The ...

Understanding the intricate web of connections within the human brain remains one of the greatest challenges in science. This complex network of billions of neurons, communicating through brief ...

A new ultra-small and ultra-flexible electronic neural implant, delivered via blood vessels, can record single-neuron activity deep within the brains of rats, according to new study. "This technology ...
