Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

The brain is not a random collection of neurons. Across species, evolution has preserved key hierarchical architectural features, including modular organization, characterized by patches of densely ...

The Brain Modeling Toolkit (BMTK) is an open-source platform for creating, simulating, and analyzing neural networks at multiple biological scales. Paired with BMTool and high-performance computing, ...

The brain modulates visual signals according to internal states, as a new study by LMU neuroscientist Laura Busse reveals. What we see is not simply just a neural representation of the pattern of ...

The human brain contains approximately 87 billion neurons. On average, each of these cells make thousands of different connections to facilitate communication across the brain. Neural communication is ...

Graph theory and computational modeling reveal that neural network architecture biases the male Caenorhabditis elegans brain toward prioritized sexual behaviors.
