Researchers wanted to find out whether this burst-like activity occurred only in LGN neurons that had lost input, or also in neurons receiving signals from the eye that could still see. After some ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...

For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are grouped into columns. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max Planck ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry ...
