The activity of an individual neuron is constrained by the anatomical organization of its presynaptic network (the set of neurons from which it receives information). In the mouse brain ...

National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive brain-wide presynaptic ... biases shape movement neuron identity within ...

Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected, and their discovery ...

Here we provide the synaptic wiring diagram for sensorimotor circuits involved in learning ... Circuit tracing further identifies novel connections between HVC’s presynaptic partners. Our results ...
