The functioning of the brain relies on the precise organization of neuronal connections. In an article published in ...

Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system. These regions, including the cortex, basal ganglia, brainstem, and ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial pathway that links brain cell activity to the activation of genes responsible for ...

New research explores the many ways our sensory experiences overlaps, teaching us new ways the brain perceives ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

The physiological power and biological value of brain-derived neurotrophic factor is so significant that it is often referred ...

Scientists explore how the immune and nervous systems constantly communicate, influencing brain diseases, behavior, and ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory. It means how the brain ...
