In a new paper published in @NeuroCellPress, researchers explain how "mixed selectivity" in neurons helps the brain achieve the cognitive capacity to incorporate all the relevant information without becoming overwhelmed by what's not. #Neuro #Science https://t.co/JGMpIQyGQO

[Christopher Weaver @csweaver]

In this study published in @Nature, researchers developed a novel strategy for designing channel structures within electrodes, facilitating seamless integration with polymer gel #electrolytes for optimal #battery performance. #Physics #Innovation https://t.co/Kut0NlcX5B

[Christopher Weaver @csweaver]

Researchers from @MIT_Picower found that bursts of brain rhythms with “beta” frequencies control where and when neurons in the cortex process sensory information and plan responses. This could help us better understand #cognition. #Neuro #Science https://t.co/GfPKBaGIyW

[Christopher Weaver @csweaver]

This study in @Nature shows that #astrocytes can integrate calcium signals from distant processes to their cell bodies. This suggests that they may function as computational units in the #brain, integrating signals in response to important events. #Neuro https://t.co/u6hUvnNgKO

[Christopher Weaver @csweaver]

In this study published in @ElsevierConnect, researchers posit that #cognition can only be understood by observing how millions of cells act in coordination. Their framework highlights how this coordination is driven by oscillating electric fields. #Neuro https://t.co/dDygB9QAnE

[Christopher Weaver @csweaver]

Researchers from @UCBerkeley and @UCSF recently tested how a prototype sensor can monitor biological changes in the tissues of mice. If developed further, this sensor could be used to monitor tumors in real-time. #Innovation #Physics #BiomedicalDevice https://t.co/Mha49X4ghY

[Christopher Weaver @csweaver]

Researchers developed a new platform to explore dendritic translation’s role in #MemoryFormation and #IntellectualDisorders. Using this method, they discovered unknown factors involved in memory-related protein synthesis within dendrites. #Neuro @Nature https://t.co/bv1ibUHo4u
