Neurons Can Carry More than One Signal at a Time

New research from Duke university and published in the July 13th edition of the journal Nature Communications indicates that neurons in the brain are capable of handling more than one signal at a time. According to a summary of the research profiled in Neuroscience News, the neurons appear to cycle rapidly between signals, and this discovery may help explain phenomena such as our limited working memory.  For more information on this interesting discovery, check out the summary at https://neurosciencenews.com/multiple-neuron-signals-9575/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+neuroscience-rss-feeds-neuroscience-news+%28Neuroscience+News+Updates%29 .
