The researchers measured electrical activity of the neurons within the ensemble and compared it with nearby neurons that were not activated by the environmental cue. (sciencedaily.com)
Recently, physicians seeking to resolve a patient's conscious state have gone right to the source, searching for signs of awareness using brain imaging or recording electrical activity of neurons. (sciencemag.org)
They began by characterizing the cell composition, protein expression, metabolism, and electrical activity of neurons from each region in vitro. (sciencedaily.com)
