The design of robots that interact autonomously with the environment and exhibit complex
behaviours is an open challenge that can benefit from understanding what makes living …

In a neural circuit, synapses transfer information rapidly between neurons and transform this
information during transfer. The diverse computational properties of synapses are shaped by …

Neuroimaging research has been at the forefront of concerns regarding the failure of
experimental findings to replicate. In the study of brain-behavior relationships, past failures …

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus is remarkable. Despite numbering
only about 10,000 neurons on each side of the third ventricle, the SCN is our principal …

The brain is a hugely diverse, heterogeneous structure. Whether or not heterogeneity at the
neural level plays a functional role remains unclear, and has been relatively little explored in …

Memristive electromagnetic induction effect has been widely explored in bi-neuron network
with homogeneous neurons, but rarely in bi-neuron network with heterogeneous ones. This …

Complex cognitive functions such as working memory and decision-making require
information maintenance over seconds to years, from transient sensory stimuli to long-term …

There is disagreement on how best to define and investigate fear. Nature Neuroscience
asked Dean Mobbs to lead experts from the fields of human and animal affective …

We describe convergent evidence from transcriptomics, morphology, and physiology for a
specialized GABAergic neuron subtype in human cortex. Using unbiased single-nucleus …

Traditionally considered a homogeneous cell type, hippocampal pyramidal cells have been
recently shown to be highly diverse. However, how this cellular diversity relates to the …
