New research reveals how electrical synapses filter sensory input, helping animals choose actions based on context.

Scientists at Yale and the University of Connecticut have taken a major step in understanding how animal brains make ...

Synaptic configurations play a key role in how the nervous system processes sensory information to generate behavioral ...

For the new study, the researchers investigated a specific type of connection between neuronal cells, called electrical synapses, which differs from the more widely studied chemical synapses.
