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

A study published in the journal Neuron takes a big step toward proving that hypothesis. The paper's lead author is Yuriy ...

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 ...

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 ...

A study has found that the cortex acts like a "memory machine", encoding new experiences and predicting the near future, ...

As an undergraduate, I worked with Dr. Jeffrey Macklis to investigate genetic controls that diversify projection neuron subtype identity within precise regions of the mammalian cortex. I then worked ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's ... A study published in the journal Neuron takes a big step toward proving that hypothesis. The paper's lead author is Yuriy Shymkiv, a ...
