Researchers expect LICONN technology will be broadly useful to enable high-resolution tissue analysis in other organs and ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies.

Merging neurons with semiconductors signals a shift in brain–machine interface design and neuromorphic engineering.

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

With AI, “we are in the process not of re-creating human biology,” said Thomas Naselaris, a neuroscientist at the University ...

“Rather than actively shaping experience, the thalamus (if it is considered at all) has typically been relegated to a role in ...

To link function and structure, a three-phase co-registration process matched ... In one remarkable case, a single neuron’s 1400+ outputs were traced to postsynaptic partners with known functional ...

Interneurons have a multipolar structure that allows them to receive multiple signals and then send a unified command to another neuron. In this way, you can think of interneurons as traffic ...

The area where a neuron transmits a signal to a muscle cell is called the ... a muscular contraction by releasing calcium ions from storage within a membrane-bound structure in muscle cells called the ...

The world's largest wooden structure has been completed. Aptly named the Grand Ring, it takes the form of a massive circular loop with a walkway on top and has a circumference of approximately 2 ...
