Many cognitive processes, such as decision-making, take place within seconds or minutes. Neuroscientists have longed to capture neuron activity during such tasks, but that dream has remained ...

New neural network tools automate cell alignment and labeling in microscopy, achieving near-human accuracy and dramatically ...

Scientists at MIT and Stanford say they have developed a technique named FLARE to label neurons when they become active to provide a view of their activity at a moment in time. The method could offer ...

For the past decade, neuroscientists have been using a modified version of the rabies virus to label neurons and trace the connections between them. Although this technique has proven very useful, it ...

BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

A tiny spear made of carbon nanotubes can probe the internal electrical activity of a single neuron, giving researchers a more refined look at how brain cells respond to signals from their neighboring ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Many cognitive processes, such as decision-making, take place within seconds or minutes. Neuroscientists have longed to capture neuron activity during such tasks, but that dream has ...

A new way to label neurons when they become active has now been developed, essentially providing a snapshot of their activity at a moment in time. Many cognitive processes, such as decision-making, ...
