Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

Astrocytic GABA transporter 3 is essential for preserving the integrity of neuronal population dynamics in accurately encoding and representing sensory information.

For most of history, the unseen darkness was part of ordinary life. For example, families in medieval Europe slept in two ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

The cerebral cortex of your brain is the outermost layer. It's the part of the brain that appears wrinkled because it has a lot of folds. Your cerebral cortex is divided into two hemispheres. Each ...
