Scientists have used precious and rare access to live human cortical tissue to identify functionally important features that make human neurons unique. This experimental work is among the first of its ...

Ever since mammalian adult neurogenesis was confirmed, scientists had hoped to get pluripotent cells of the subventricular zone (SVZ) to become something other than olfactory bulb neurons when they ...

In Fragile X syndrome, sensory signals from the outside world are integrated differently, causing them to be underrepresented by cortical pyramidal neurons in the brain, according to a new study. In ...

Results of a new study led by Roberto Araya, a Canadian neuroscientist, biophysicist and researcher at the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Centre, in Montreal, show that in Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the ...

In Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common cause of autism, sensory signals from the outside world are integrated differently, causing them to be underrepresented by cortical pyramidal neurons in ...

A new study published last week in Neuron by researchers at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem may accelerate innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning and neuroscience by providing ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
