New research reveals that individual neurons in the hippocampus can respond to both slow and fast brain waves at the same ...

Neurons talk to one another using electricity. If you could hear these impulses, they might sound like constant, rapid-fire ...

These process-to-process communications likely occur in the ... we take a higher-level approach, using a “firing rate” model to abstract away these complexities and uncover the core computational ...

Yet firing in each region is dominated by patterns shared between regions and is equally predictive of firing in the other region at the single-neuron level. In dual-region network models fit to data, ...

Fingertip tactile neurons collectively encode the skin's viscoelastic state alongside current touch, potentially enabling the brain to better interpret forces during manipulation.
