If a patient is declared brain dead, but we can still bring their connectome back, they may not have to be dead after all.

Here are five brain facts that are now brain fiction.

New research shows that slow-wave sleep strengthens synaptic connections in the neocortex, making it more receptive to long-term memory formation.

This important study introduces rationally designed, genetically encoded tools for the selective and reversible ablation of excitatory and inhibitory synapses. The evidence is convincing, supported by ...
