Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells that ...

Researchers uncovered how shifting levels of a brain protein called KCC2 can reshape the way cues become linked with rewards, sometimes making habits form more quickly or more powerfully than expected ...

Background Understanding the dynamic neural mechanisms of sleep-wake cycles is a major challenge in sleep science and neuroengineering. Sleep, essential for maintaining brain homeostasis and cognitive ...

(from left) Prof. Florian Mormann and Dr. Stefanie Liebe revise an established theory of stimulus processing in nerve cells during memory processing. How does the brain retain a sequence of events in ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
