Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first large-scale recording of individual neuron activity across the entire mouse brain.

Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the ...

Our first neurons form during the earliest weeks of development in the womb. As the brain takes shape, those neurons move about and cluster with others to create brain regions. Then they begin the ...

The communication network in the developing brain builds when neurons partner up to form contact points called synapses, allowing signals to pass from one cell to another. At the same time, a web of ...

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 ...
