Researchers say measuring signals from a single neuron may be as good as capturing information from many neurons at once. Read More

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.
When the soma of specific neurons is active, the dendrites of the same neuron are also active, even when animals are not engaged in a cognitively demanding task. Read More
A new microscopy technique integrates existing and novel approaches to build a clearer picture of the workings of neurons in the brain. The technique captures cellular activity across large tissue volumes in greater detail than previous techniques have allowed for. Read More
New patterns of brain ageing across the human lifespan have been revealed by researchers analysing microstructural changes in the brain’s white matter. Read More
A pairing of presynaptic and postsynaptic activity in a population of hippocampal neurons can reduce the required number of synaptic plasticity evoking events. When spikes occur within ten milliseconds of each other, synapses strengthen for up to four hours. Read More
A new study reveals frequency plays a key role in neural activation from electrical stimulation. Read More
An international team of researchers have been able to demonstrate, with electrophysiological evidence, the existence of grid-like activity in the human brain. Read More
Researchers report bioelectrical potential is a driving force for stem cells to generate different neuron types during embryogenesis. Read More
Researchers have identified electrical activity in the brain that is specific to the start of migraines. The new study reports spreading depolarization can be seen as a migraine begins, and an electrical current can be used to stop it in its tracks. Read More
A new method reveals some ALS affected neurons display hypo-excitability. Researchers say these changes most likely represent early steps in the disease progression. Read More
Researchers have created a revolutionary new tool to help shed light on living cells. By combining two existing imaging technologies, researchers were able to image living cells in 3D. Read More
Researchers have developed a new method to identify and monitor the activity of 'quiet' neurons. Read More
