The songbird vocal motor nucleus HVC contains cells that project to the basal ganglia, the auditory system, or to downstream vocal motor structures. In this fundamental study, the authors conduct ...

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits. The findings demonstrate that stimulating natural brain processes may help repair damaged ...

Explains electric current, highlighting that it originates from a battery and requires a complete circuit to flow. It compares electric current to water flowing through pipes, using meters to ...

Add a comment + Open annotations. The current annotation count on this page is being calculated. Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches ...

Figure 1 Schematic diagrams of two superconducting flux qubit circuits. The conventional qubit (a) requires an external magnetic field to operate optimally, while the new flux qubit (b), using a ...

In order for the solenoid point motor to throw the point we need to apply current briefly to an electromagnetic coil. A capacitor discharge unit greatly improves reliability in that it builds up and ...

Summary: Researchers have discovered how the brain’s neural circuits regulate imitative behavior, a key component of social interaction. Using a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, the study ...
