The human brain contains billions of neurons that continuously receive information and stimuli from the outside. To make ...

International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) researchers have developed a neuromorphic photonic semiconductor neuron ...

Researchers analyzed mice's D1 and D2 neurons to understand how they code and respond to appetitive and aversive stimuli.

Previously, “both physicists and neuroscientists have largely dismissed the relevance of standard quantum mechanics to neuronal processes, as quantum effects are thought to disappear at the large ...

Research reveals why misplaced neurons in the brain are overactive and lead to developmental disorders. Research reveals why misplaced neurons in the brain are overactive and lead to developmental ...

Scientists found that aggressive lung cancer cells create their own electrical network, helping them spread. This unique ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex —the outermost layer of the brain — and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

It is possible that neurons with the same function can also work more efficiently when they are close together." The new study not only advances our general understanding of how the brain is ...

the internal processes that make and remake the brain—the birth of new neurons and death of old ones, the creation and dissipation of neural connections, and more—persist across the lifespan.

Brain injuries can have very serious consequences that are often irreversible. Loss of neurons can affect a variety of functions, from movement to cognition, leading to personality changes or even ...
