Scientists map the fruit fly brain, giving an in-depth look at its neurons.

This is the first time the precise brain cells and their connections controlling a complex behavior have been worked out. 

Optogenetic stimulation of the perirhinal cortex can cause macaques to process never-before seen-objects as familiar and known objects as brand new.

Using machine learning, researchers have created extensive maps of the neuronal circuits associated with social and locomotion behaviors in the fruit fly. 

The results suggest that breathing is orchestrated by three—rather than two—excitatory circuits in the medulla.

This third excitatory network helps to regulate postinspiration.

The UCLA neurobiologist uses computational modeling, in vitro electrophysiology, and human psychophysics experiments to explore how neurons and the brain as a whole perceive and respond to time.

With light, researchers can coax a group of neurons in the visual cortices of living mice to fire in concert.

Surprisingly small sections of brain, and even neuronal and glial networks in a dish, display many electrical indicators of sleep.

Sleep-like patterns of neural activity are apparent not just at the level of the whole brain, but also in isolated neural circuits.
