Harvard affiliates developed a silicon chip that successfully mapped more than 70,000 synaptic connections from 2,000 rat neurons, advancing a new recording technology to complement existing neural ...

In order to uncover the relationship between structure and function, researchers used microfluidic devices to study neuronal networks. Uncovering the relationship between structure (connectivity) and ...

This energy is critical for maintaining the connections between neurons that enable effective communication. However, in Alzheimer's disease, this essential energy production falters, leading to the ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

A detail of a figure from the paper shows synapses formed between a neuron (above) and muscle (below) a narrow cleft. The distinct T-bar shape indicates an active zone. In the upper image, the synapse ...

For each session, participants were required to pedal up to a speed of 80 rpm. The adaptive, motorized bike assisted them in attaining that level but also added and reduced resistance depending on the ...
