The activity of neurons in the mammalian brain is known to contribute to the development of the brain at the early stages of development. While past neuroscientific studies have gathered evidence ...

Hearing plays an important role for the survival of animals. Animals recognize intensities, directions, frequencies, and even emotional significance of sound 1,2. The auditory cortex plays an ...

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past studies suggest that specialized groups of neurons in the mammalian brain, ...

One of the most remarkable aspects of brain development is the folding of the cerebral cortex, which is believed to enhance the cognitive capacities of large mammals. Brain size has changed ...

Nestled in dark burrows, with a limited sense of vision, mice brush their whiskers against their environment to navigate and to detect objects around them. This behavior, termed whisking, has been ...

Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. This ...

Biophysically detailed simulation of the whole mouse cortex neuron by neuron, with sub-cellular resolution—that is, capturing ion flows and fluctuations of membrane voltage within many compartments ...

Researchers discover rotating spiral brain waves that travel across cortical networks, acting as a space-and-time clock for ...

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

A new study published in the journal Neurobiology of Disease has found that an overabundance of inhibitory connections in a ...

Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped researchers discover unprecedented details about how individual brain cells ...
