How animals detect the Earth’s magnetic field remains a mystery in sensory biology.
In a new Science study, researchers used whole brain activity mapping, tissue clearing, and light sheet microscopy to identify neuronal populations activated by magnetic stimuli in the pigeon. Learn more: https://t.co/DV1MEXigKV
🪰 A team of researchers has unveiled the complete connectome of a male fruit fly central nervous system—a seamless map of all the neurons in the brain and nerve cord of a single male fruit fly and the millions of connections between them.

We found that vCA1 neurons encode social memories across multiple representational dimensions, using distinct neural populations to represent individual identity and social properties such as sex.

There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.

New findings reveal a #posttranscriptional mechanism that is critically involved in a process called homeostatic scaling, which adjusts the activity of chronically underactive or overactive #neurons that would otherwise impair brain function. @SciSignal https://t.co/J1QwQXpJUk
