30.12.2022 Holding information in mind may mean storing it among synapses
Comparing models of working memory with real-world data, MIT researchers found that information resides not in persistent neural activity, but in the pattern of their connections
01.12.2022 New version of Arbor neural network simulation library released
Arbor is a multi-compartment neural network simulation library designed to be portable across contemporary high-performance computing architectures. The most recent version is now available on EBRAINS
29.11.2022 HBP researchers map the 'synaptic landscape' of a cognitive nucleus of the thalamus
Researchers from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) supported by the Human Brain Project (HBP) were able for the first time to identify the origin, intranuclear distribution and size of all types of axon terminals present in a cognitive nucleus of the thalamus
11.11.2022 Illuminating a mysterious brain structure
Neuroscientists are shedding literal light on the mouse claustrum, a tiny part of the brain with an outsized number of connections
29.10.2022 A mind-body interface alternates with effector-specific regions in motor cortex
Researchers have identified the Mind-Body Interface, a novel distributed network within human primary motor cortex that disrupts the famous but incorrect motor homunculus, and that exhibits strong connections to high-level control networks
