Starting from the tenets of human imagination, ie., the concepts of lines, points and infinity,
we provide a biological demonstration that the skeptical claim “human beings cannot attain …

The notion that a neuron transmits the same set of neurotransmitters at all of its post-synaptic
connections, typically known as Dale's law, is well supported throughout the majority of the …

Background Transcranial magneto-acoustical stimulation (TMAS) is a noninvasive
technique that has advantages in spatial resolution and penetration depth. It changes the …

Biologically plausible spiking neural network models of sensory cortices can be instrumental
in understanding and validating their principles of computation. Models based on Cortical …

Transient, task related synchronous activity within neural populations has been recognized
as the substrate of temporal coding in the brain. The mechanisms underlying inducing and …

Determining the structure of a network is of central importance to understanding its function
in both neuroscience and applied mathematics. However, recovering the structural …

When the two eyes are presented with highly distinct stimuli, the resulting visual percept
generally switches every few seconds between the two monocular images in an irregular …

Loss-of-function mutations in neuroligin-4 (Nlgn4), a member of the neuroligin family of
postsynaptic adhesion proteins, cause autism spectrum disorder in humans. Nlgn4 knockout …

神经元膜电位的放电活动是神经编码的基础. 然而, 目前对于神经元电活动对神经信息的编码
方式, 至今尚未形成一个完整的认识. 传统的编码理论认为神经系统以离散的动作电位放电序列 …

Neuronal networks vary dramatically in size, connectivity structure, and functionality across
downstream layers of the brain. This raises the question of whether information is lost as it is …
