If a body is going to function correctly, the cells need to be in the right place. Scientists have learned a lot about how cell migration occurs during development, but the growth of the human brain ...

Despite the pivotal role of motor neurons in movement, how a single motor neuron contributes to control during movement remains unclear. Measuring the activity of individual neurons in moving animals ...

Scientists have developed a pioneering new method that uses deep learning and a new technique called 'targeted augmentation' to track neurons in moving and deforming animals. Recent advances allow ...

When a fruit fly is navigating straight forward at high speed, why does it know that it’s not straying off course? Because as long as the fly moves directly forward, the visual scene shifts from front ...

The botulinum toxins are among the deadliest substances on Earth, and two specific toxins — including the popular drug Botox — have multiple uses for treating many neuromuscular conditions, including ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert ...

Two proteins found on the surface of motor neurons in the brain may be essential in the progression of Parkinson's disease, ...

Some meditation buffs bill the practice as a panacea. Mindfulness fans swear that, with meditation, depression and anxiety will dissipate, period cramps will be gone, and chronic pain will ease. We’re ...

Two-dimensional projection of 3D volumetric brain activity recordings in C. elegans. Green: genetically encoded Calcium indicator, various colors: segmented and tracked neurons. Recent advances allow ...

Scientific research in complex fields such as neuroscience is getting a boost from artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning. A new study by researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne ...
