Every thought, memory, and feeling we experience depends on trillions of tiny connection points in the brain called synapses.

Axons, the fundamental output structures of neurons, play a pivotal role in transmitting electrical signals over long ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...

Neuromorphic engineering draws inspiration from biological neural systems, which operate robustly despite significant variability, noise, and heterogeneity ...

Scientists used a tool called SynTrogo to edit brain circuits in mice, showing that trimming select synapses can make ...
