ElectrophysiologyFeaturedNeuroscience·July 19, 2017Study Reveals Contrast in How Groups of Neurons Function During Decision MakingA new study published in Nature sheds light on how populations of neurons work together during working memory and decision making tasks. Researchers report individual neurons are briefly active, but populations of neurons working together carry information for longer periods of time by being active at different times. Read More
