Your every thought, memory, and movement begins here: an electric spark turned chemical message, as one neuron whispers to the next. What you’re seeing This animation captures neurotransmission, the process that allows nerve cells to communicate across microscopic gaps called synapses. When an electrical impulse reaches the end of Cell A (the presynaptic neuron), it triggers the release of neurotransmitters—tiny signaling molecules that cross the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors on Cell B (the postsynaptic neuron). 🟡 Opens ion channels that generate a new electrical signal in the next neuron 🟡 Coordinates how the brain encodes movement, emotion, and thought 🟡 Operates on millisecond precision using hundreds of molecular components 💡 The bigger picture Neurotransmission is the foundation of consciousness, a seamless conversation of electricity and chemistry happening trillions of times each second. Every sensation, decision, and memory depends on this invisible dialogue between your brain’s 86 billion neurons.

For most of neuroscience history (until the late 1980s/early 1990s), neurons were treated as the brain’s only decision-makers. That idea is changing. Astrocytes, once considered passive support cells, are now recognized as global regulators of brain state. They don’t encode individual thoughts or actions. Instead, they integrate activity across huge numbers of synapses and adjust how neural networks behave over time. By releasing modulatory signals and tracking slow changes in activity, astrocytes influence: -Alertness vs. fatigue -Stress vs. calm -Motivation vs. disengagement Importantly, they can shift brain function without rewiring neurons, by tuning the environment neurons operate in. The brain isn’t just wired. It’s regulated, and astrocytes play a central role in that regulation.

Researchers grew rat neurons on a force sensor, which allowed them to discover that neurons develop tension after forming connections with other neurons, resulting in a contractile neural network. Without this contractility, neurons fail to fire. In PNAS:

You’re looking at neurons growing and connecting in real time 🧠. A 65-hour recording of hippocampal activity in a rat brain. The hippocampus plays a crucial role in memory and learning. In this footage, neurons extend their dendrites and axons, building and reshaping connections across days. Capturing this process live offers a rare view into how neural circuits form and reorganize. Why this matters ⬇️ 1️⃣It’s a continuous, multi-day recording of living hippocampal neurons under the microscope 2️⃣You can clearly see dendritic branching and network formation 3️⃣It reveals the dynamic processes that drive brain development and plasticity Observing growth at this resolution helps researchers understand how neurons connect—and how disruptions in these processes might contribute to neurological or psychiatric conditions.

Did you know about 21 million people worldwide are diagnosed with #epilepsy in 2021? Epilepsy’s pathophysiology involves the aberrant electrical activity of neurons in the brain. This typically stems from an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, with increased excitation or reduced inhibition leading to hyperactive neural networks. These abnormal electrical discharges manifest as seizures, which can vary in intensity and impact depending on the specific regions of the brain affected by this pathophysiological imbalance.🧠 .

Scaling laws describe how loss changes with scale. Do neurons inside models change predictably too? We study vision and language models up to 30B params and find systematic scaling in neuron universality, specialization, and selectivity. Paper+code: 1/n

E11 Bio is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves. We discovered a new cell barcoding approach exceeding comparable methods by more than 750x. This is the heart of PRISM. We integrated this capability with microscopy and AI image analysis to automatically trace neurons at high resolution and annotate them with molecular features. This is a key advance towards economically viable brain mapping - 95% of costs stem from neuron tracing. It is also an important step towards democratizing neuron tracing for everyday neuroscience. Solving these problems is critical for curing brain disorders, building safer and human-like AI, and even simulating brain function. In our first pilot study, we acquired a unique dataset in mouse hippocampus. Barcodes improved the accuracy of tracing genetically labelled neurons by 8x – with a clear path to 100x or more. They also permit tracing across spatial gaps – essential for mitigating tissue section loss in whole-brain scaling. Using molecular annotation, we uncover an intriguing feature of synaptic organization, demonstrating how PRISM can be used for systematic discovery 🧵

Ritual makes inference a native precompile, so reasoning and the action it triggers settle as one operation. Humans don't have gaps between a thought and action, and neither should an agent.
