The mouse brain seems to use sets of neurons to represent distances, he says.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with different current directions can activate different sets of neurons.
We must learn how to look at sets of neurons, measure how they are firing, and reverse-engineer their message.
Hearing receptors -- sets of neurons surrounded by other cells -- are attached to the sides of the hooks and to the second segment.
Each loop features two sets of neurons and a control region, linked together by non-recurrent projections.
Perhaps the inhibitory transcriptional profile observed here impacts future excitability contributing to the ability of the DG to select distinct sets of neurons to encode different events.
The researchers made these findings by developing a technique for teasing apart separate but closely intertwined sets of neurons in the brain.
Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests that synaptic connections are not only formed among specific sets of neurons, but also targeted to specific subcellular domains.
The ultimate goal of our work is to link the in vivo activity of defined sets of neurons with neurobehavioral, electroencephalographic and physiological outcomes in behaving animals.
In collaboration with Ernst Bamberg, Georg Nagel, and Feng Zhang, they repurposed the gene into something new: a tool that could make individual neurons (or sets of neurons) fire on command.
In the Antennal Lobes layer olfactory signals lead to a competition among sets of neurons, resulting in a pattern which is projected to the Mushroom Bodies layer.
