Dendrites have always fascinated researchers: from the artistic drawings by Ramon y Cajal
to the beautiful recordings of today, neuroscientists have been striving to unravel the …

Understanding how individual neurons integrate the thousands of synaptic inputs they
receive is critical to understanding how the brain works. Modeling studies in silico and …

Comprehensive high-resolution structural maps are central to functional exploration and
understanding in biology. For the nervous system, in which high resolution and large spatial …

Retinal circuits transform the pixel representation of photoreceptors into the feature
representations of ganglion cells, whose axons transmit these representations to the brain …

The brain has an extraordinary capacity for memory storage, but how it stores new
information without disrupting previously acquired memories remains unknown. Here we …

The mammalian retina consists of neurons of> 60 distinct types, each playing a specific role
in processing visual images. They are arranged in three main stages. The first decomposes …

Animal behaviour arises from computations in neuronal circuits, but our understanding of
these computations has been frustrated by the lack of detailed synaptic connection maps, or …

How does the mammalian retina detect motion? This classic problem in visual neuroscience
has remained unsolved for 50 years. In search of clues, here we reconstruct Off-type …

Ca 2+ is a highly versatile intracellular signal that operates over a wide temporal range to
regulate many different cellular processes. An extensive Ca 2+-signalling toolkit is used to …

The proper connectivity between neurons is essential for the implementation of the
algorithms used in neural computations, such as the detection of directed motion by the …
