Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different ...

Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend ...

In the developing brain, neurons must navigate through complex and often crowded tissue to reach their final ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

New research reveals that neurons can switch their migration strategy depending on whether they move on flat surfaces or through tight, crowded spaces.

Using high-resolution imaging techniques in mice, the researchers found that different parts of a single neuron can follow separate sets of rules to modify their synapses, the points where neurons ...

To build the classifier, the scientists first had to measure the unique electrical signatures of the different types of neurons within the cerebellum. Using optogenetic experiments, in which genes for ...

Stem cells have the capacity to divide and differentiate into different types of specialized cells. The UPV/EHU research group has obtained cells very similar to neurons; they "manage to produce ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...

In their latest study, researchers found that these Lepr neurons communicate using two different chemical signals: glutamate, which excites neurons, or GABA, which calms neurons. The study ...
