Using high-resolution Neuropixels silicon probes thinner than a human hair, scientists at the Allen Institute for Brain Science have captured hundreds of split-second electrical signals that fire when ...

The neural signatures for movement, touch, and thought processes are hidden in the activity of large neural populations. Each action and process is coordinated by a complex interplay between different ...

A novel probe developed in 2017 allowed unprecedented recording of brain activity but only in small lab animals. MGH researchers and colleagues have successfully used a modified version of the probe ...

I know quite a few friends and acquaintances that have epilepsy. They try to deal with their condition on a daily basis and do fairly well. The good news is that technology is advancing and can allow ...

A probe that can simultaneously record electrical signals from hundreds of individual neurons could reveal how different areas of the brain work together to produce ...
