International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

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.

Mapping the human brain's network of interconnections, known as the connectome is typically done with help from computational tools because recreating interconnections between different brain regions ...

If you value independent local news, become a sustainer today. Your gift could help unlock a $1M challenge. Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified ...

A new sequencing-based method uses molecular barcodes to trace synaptic connections among neurons. The approach enables large ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...

New research identifies a specific neural pathway (Pdyn+ neurons) that carries stress signals from the brain to the skin, triggering eczema flares by activating eosinophils.

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. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...
