How the brain gets wired up matters. Consider the neurons involved in the sense of smell. Hook them up wrong, and suddenly ...

Scientists have undertaken to map the neural circuitry involved in the conversion of olfactory inputs into navigational behaviors in the fruit fly larva. The work is a new example on how systems ...

Introduction to Circuits provides a foundational overview of electrical circuitry. Whether wired in series, parallel, or a combination of the two, all circuits consist of a source, path, control, and ...

An iGEM project is an excellent example of how science is done in the 21 st century — team-based, multidisciplinary, quantitative and focused on the solution of difficult problems. iGEM is about ...

Marta Zlatic owns what could be the most tedious film collection ever. In her laboratory at the Janelia Research Campus in Ashburn, Virginia, the neuroscientist has stored more than 20,000 hours of ...

Cortical organoids, which are miniature three-dimensional models of brain tissue grown from stem cells, offer scientists a sophisticated and accurate model to better understand how neurons control ...
