Scientists at Yale and the University of Connecticut have taken a major step in understanding how animal brains make decisions, revealing a crucial role for electrical synapses in "filtering" sensory ...

One year ago this month, I wrote my viewpoint on the “ever-evolving world” of electrical design in recognition of our annual Top 40 Electrical Design Firms rankings and special report, trying to make ...

Electrical synapses that carry messages through the brain have been artificially engineered in mammals for the first time, altering their behaviour. This could have potential for preventing or ...

It had been previously discovered that, in the neocortex, electrical synapses were the blueprint for chemical synapses. However, from early development to adulthood, chemical synapses were seldom ...

Scientists have taken a major step in understanding how animal brains make decisions, revealing a crucial role for electrical synapses in 'filtering' sensory information. The new research demonstrates ...
