Researchers have developed a new maze to help test spatial and navigational memory. The new honeycomb maze is a significant improvement over the standard Morris Water Maze, researchers report.
A new study reveals the majority of V1 neurons project to higher visual areas in a non-random manner.
Researchers have identified a new rule of connectivity for neurons in the neocortex, contradicting the popular belief "neurons that fire together, wire together".
New eye-tracking technology monitors naturalistic eye movements in mice and discovers similarities and differences with human eye movement.
Social preference in isolated zebrafish is caused by stress and anxiety, not observed anti-social patterns.
Researchers have identified a neural circuit that regulates threat response in mice.
After only ten minutes in a novel environment, mice are able to learn the shortest escape route even if they have no experience of a threat in the location.
Mice can readily learn to suppress their innate behavioral response to escape, effectively ignoring stimuli they determine to pose no threat.
Neurons in the basolateral amygdala allow rats to respond to and recall ethological stimuli.
Researchers identified how the primary visual cortex and the lateromedial area of the cerebral cortex influence one another, and how this communication changes over rapid timespans.
Spatial attention and running influence individual neurons independently with different dynamics.
