CA1 pyramidal neurons exhibit synchronous spiking during movement and pauses in novel environments, reflecting a neural signature of spatial learning.

Scientists have discovered a group of brain cells in the orbitofrontal cortex that become more active when outcomes are uncertain, revealing how the brain adapts and learns from unpredictable ...

SISSA Colloquium returns on Monday, October  20th, at 2 PM in Aula Magna Budinich. This time, we will have the pleasure of hosting Professor Gábor Tamás (University of Szeged, Hungary) who will ...

What am I looking at? This image is a 1.5-millimeter-thick horizontal slice through the brain of a mouse. It shows the neurons that produce serotonin in purple (1) and pyramidal neurons in green (2).

Newly identified brain cells evolved along the theme, "Life is uncertain; Eat dessert first." The neurons, located in the front part of the brain, are most active when the outcome of a decision is ...
