The passage of time is sensed, perceived, and experienced, but—unlike for touch, vision, hearing, and olfaction—there exist no sensory receptors for time. This fact has long tantalized neuroscientists ...

Single neurons in mouse sensorimotor cortex are organized by their activity features into distinct subpopulations with area-spanning footprints whose boundaries align closely with anatomical and ...

Optical imaging and optogenetic inactivation of dorsal mouse neocortex reveal an unexpected role for retrosplenial cortex in the context-dependent transformation of whisker sensory information into ...

Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on the move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
