Despite the pivotal role of motor neurons in movement, how a single motor neuron contributes to control during movement remains unclear. Measuring the activity of individual neurons in moving animals ...

One of the brain’s fundamental roles is to generate the correct body movements at the correct time. Understanding how the brain accomplishes this task, and how this process goes wrong in disease, has ...

Scientists have developed a pioneering new method that uses deep learning and a new technique called 'targeted augmentation' to track neurons in moving and deforming animals. Recent advances allow ...

When a fruit fly is navigating straight forward at high speed, why does it know that it’s not straying off course? Because as long as the fly moves directly forward, the visual scene shifts from front ...

Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the ...

Two-dimensional projection of 3D volumetric brain activity recordings in C. elegans. Green: genetically encoded Calcium indicator, various colors: segmented and tracked neurons. Recent advances allow ...

Scientific research in complex fields such as neuroscience is getting a boost from artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning. A new study by researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne ...
