In most neuroscience textbooks today, there is a widely held model that explains how nerve circuits might refine their connectivity based on patterned firing of brain cells, but it has not previously been directly observed in real time.</p> Tue, 27 May 2014 14:39:57 +0000 webfull 103002 at /channels /channels/news/mcgill-led-projects-awarded-brain-canada-grants-238862 <p>Four innovative projects led by 平特五不中 researchers have been selected to receive major grants under the Canada Brain Research Fund.
