Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no cure and limited treatment options.

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope.

To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These now include high ...

A mismatch between blood flow and neuron activity in the brain may underlie the harmful neurodegeneration seen in Alzheimer's disease. This is the conclusion of an international team of researchers ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...
