When a neuron receives a stimulus, changes in membrane voltage (the electrical charge across the neuron cell membrane ... tiny nematodes commonly used as a model organism in neuroscience research ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain ... Previous research found that the response of single brain cells in the prefrontal cortex during decision-making is multifaceted and complex.

To investigate this, we characterized the amplitude and kinetics of excitatory synaptic input across the apical dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons using dual whole-cell recordings. We found that ...
