New research explores the many ways our sensory experiences overlaps, teaching us new ways the brain perceives ...

It has been estimated that the typical human cortex contains some 30 billion total neurons. If we make the conservative guess that each neuron has 1,000 synapses, that would put the total synaptic ...

Your brain constantly juggles sensory information to make split-second decisions, but how? A new latent circuit model ...

interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) preferentially encode pain intensity and drive nociceptive-evoked gamma oscillations (GBOs). Published online in Neuron on January 13 ...

Previous research found that the response of single brain cells in the prefrontal cortex during decision-making is multifaceted and complex. For example, a neuron in the prefrontal cortex may only ...
