Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

Understanding how the human brain stores information and later uses it to complete various tasks has been a long-standing goal of neuroscience and psychology research. Past studies have identified ...

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that produces them. That vision is suddenly closer to reality, as glowing neurons ...

(from left) Prof. Florian Mormann and Dr. Stefanie Liebe revise an established theory of stimulus processing in nerve cells during memory processing. How does the brain retain a sequence of events in ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...
