The study used data from laboratory mice to establish a new method for examining relationships between neuron type and function, and focused on the mouse primary visual cortex, which receives and ...

Confused about activation functions in neural networks? This video breaks down what they are, why they matter, and the most common types — including ReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh, and more! # ...

A new technique reveals cells’ precise locations and functions in the brain. Its developers have already used it to identify a previously unknown neuron type.

Computational neuroscientists use an input-output function to model the relationship between the inputs received by a biological neuron’s long treelike branches, called dendrites, and the neuron’s ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD), the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, is characterized by the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to a ...

A new study led by Salk Professor and President Rusty Gage, which published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry on January 4, 2021, shows that decreased activation of a gene called LEF1 disrupts ...

Specifically, when disease conditions were simulated in the laboratory, the team found that super-activation of the vitamin A signaling system helped protect against the type of damage that can ...
