Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, ...

Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz have discovered that while brain neuron changes, including cell loss, may ...

Closely related dopamine-releasing neurons in the olfactory bulb behave in fundamentally different ways depending on their physical structure.

Researchers have developed a "laser-powered artificial neuron," which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This chip-based laser neuron mimics how human neurons work, but it's ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute for Physiology, working in collaboration with Johns Hopkins ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...

Cellular maturation involves transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological changes that drive cell function. In human neurons, this process takes longer than in most other cell types, lasting almost ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on consciousness research on May 15, 2024. The collection of reviews, commentaries, and interviews reflect the ...
