Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research have mapped the molecular landscape of the mouse hippocampus, a ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS), the largest division of autonomic nervous system, is a tantalizing frontier in neuroscience. With the advent of single-cell transcriptomics, the ENS has been ...

Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between "test tube" data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study, ...

The neurons in our brains and bodies do amazing things: sense the outside world, transmit information, guide our behavior. But they don’t do it alone. Using tiny worms with well-mapped nervous systems ...

Researchers at Linköping University have built artificial neurons from conductive plastics that replicate up to 17 biological ...

Neuron cells are directly associated with neurodegenerative diseases. However, they are not isolated. They interact/communicate with surrounding cells through physical contact, signal-ligand pathway, ...

Researchers have made a surprising discovery linking Delta/Notch signaling in subperineurial glia (SPG) to the regulation of nerve ensheathment and neurotransmitter release at the Drosophila ...

Scientists studying neuronal energy metabolism found evidence the loss of an important energy regulator called AMPK in neural stem cells or glial cells called astrocytes causes neuronal death in ...

Our mushy brains seem a far cry from the solid silicon chips in computer processors, but scientists have a long history of comparing the two. As Alan Turing put it in 1952: “We are not interested in ...
