Electrophysiology
Electrophysiology research articles can cover research involving whole cell patch-clamp recordings, voltage clamping, current clamping, multielectrode arrays, EEG, brain machine interfaces, field potentials, neural prosthetics, deep brain stimulation, synaptic plasticity and other work.
High resolution imaging reveals the human cerebellum is 80% of the area of the cortex. The findings indicate this area of the brain likely grew larger as human behavior and cognition evolved. Read More
There are billions of neurons in the brain and at any given time tens of thousands of these neurons might... Read More
Genetically embedded tools in neural stem cells may aid in development of regenerative medicine – critical for safe and reliable... Read More
Researchers show freezing behavior associated with feat is associated with an internally generated brain state that manifests in sustained 4 Hz oscillatory dynamics in the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex-basolateral amygdala circuits. Read More
A new study sheds light on the mechanisms behind metacognition and how we make sense of the world around us. Read More
Acetylcholine is released in higher amounts when the brain is engaged in more challenging mental tasks, a new study reports. Read More
A new human brain atlas features 250 structurally distinct areas, each based on the analysis of ten brains. Over 2400 brain sections were digitalized and assembled in 3D to create the new map. Read More
A new, custom built microscope allows neuroscientists a closer look at the detailed workings of a synapse. Read More
According to a new study, researchers have developed a new technique that has allowed them to track the daily dynamics of all the dendritic spines on a single neuron in the brain of a living mouse. Read More
Scientists developed a method for decoding neural circuit diagrams. Using measurements of total neuronal activity, they can determine the probability that two neurons are connected with each other. Read More
A global knockout of the thrombin receptor PAR1 accelerates myelin development. The findings could help with the development of treatments for diseases associated with demyelination, like multiple sclerosis. Read More
