TThe fundamental unit of the nervous system is the neuron. Individual neurons are connected by synapses to form circuits. Evolution has driven the formation of ever more elaborate circuits to ...

The cell body contains genetic information, maintains the neuron’s structure, and provides energy to drive activities. Like other cell bodies, a neuron’s soma contains a nucleus and ...

The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult ... Since there are differences in neuronal structure between male and female fly brains, the researchers plan to also characterize a male brain ...

The wiring diagram and its data ... creating the first platform to study the relationship between neural structure and function at scales necessary to understand intelligence.

A recurrent neural network structure exists in the most important part of the brain -- the frontal cortex -- and this network is less complex than has been thought and mostly unidirectional ...

WASHINGTON - Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of ... In all, they collected data that covers about 5.4km of neuronal wiring in a part of the brain ...

Our research investigates the neuronal networks that are involved in the regulation of sleep microarchitecture. We focus especially on understanding how the normal sleep structure gets disrupted for ...
