Our study shows that the brain and its resident immune cells can acquire an immunological memory enabling the cells to either enhance or suppress their...
Neuromorphic computers take inspiration from the brain to achieve enhanced efficiency. We describe the first full-scale simulation of a patch of cerebral...
The claustrum is a mysterious brain structure with vast connections, whose anatomy has limited investigation. We found a new approach for studying claustral...
