    These words, from neuroanatomy pioneer Ramón y Cajal well over a century ago, remain current. Since his time, explorations of the brain have only revealed it to be more expansive than perhaps Cajal even imagined. Happy Birthday, Ramón! 🧠 #neuroscience #RamonYCajal

    This isn't a watercolor; it's nerve cells that help move the body. Explore the brain-spine connection in this beautiful image from @AndersMNelson, PhD, of the @ruimcosta lab. As seen in Nature Neuroscience: zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/mental-landsca… #mentallandscapes

    How many neurons does it take to form a memory? Using cutting-edge techniques, @tgeiller and the @attila_losonczy lab, observed small circuits of cells in the hippocampus forming a spatial map, in real time. The study was published today, in @nature. bit.ly/3xGzEbI
