Gene Circuits Wired into Cells Elicit Switch-Like Behavioral Output

Electronic gizmos and living cells alike can process signals, turning inputs into outputs—even recognizing when gray-area signaling is dark enough, or light enough, to justify decisions that are, well ...

One way brain 'conductors' find precise connection to target cells

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...
