As humans and other animals navigate their surroundings and experience different things, their brain creates so-called ...

This valuable study shows that locomotion-related modulations in the mouse visual cortex are not uniform but primarily affect neurons in muscarinic receptor-negative patches, which receive projections ...

When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways ...

When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways, the ventral ...

It is in the retina that the first visual information is processed and then transmitted to the brain. In total, the researchers mapped 44 different visual cells – some of which had never been ...

Scientists have created the most detailed functional brain map to date by tracing connections between 84,000 neurons in a mouse's visual cortex. The research, which involved showing the mouse ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from 'The Matrix,' scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting ... how individual cells in the animal’s ...

Studying mice with cancer-linked cachexia, a condition typical of the disease that leads to muscle wasting and weight loss, they discovered a previously unrecognized pathway in the brain. This pathway ...
