We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...

Our nerve cells are surrounded by a protective layer (myelin). This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells ...
