Scientists found that SELK are directly connected to taste receptor neurons. This connection means SELKs receive taste ...

Researchers discover the SELK neuron, a single-cell decision-maker in fruit flies that weighs sweet vs. bitter signals to determine whether to eat or flee.

Researchers at Brown’s Carney Institute for Brain Science identified a pair of neurons that integrate sweet and bitter ...

In a study published in Cell on July 10, a team from the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (CEBSIT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with a team from the HUST ...

Osaka, Japan – Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Our mushy brains seem a far cry from the solid silicon chips in computer processors, but scientists have a long history of comparing the two. As Alan Turing put it in 1952: “We are not interested in ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

A next-generation silicon brain probe called Neuropixels Ultra more than doubles the number of individual neurons scientists ...

The mammalian brain consists of diverse neuron types with different functions. Recent single-cell RNA sequencing approaches led to a whole brain taxonomy of transcriptomically-defined cell types.
