Scientists have now figured out how a single PVD neuron can relay two different stimuli: while harsh touch results in typical firing of the neuron—an impulse that travels the length of the ...

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

Since there are about 86 billion neurons in the brain, the synapses that connect them look like an elaborate pile of spaghetti in raw images. Thanks to FlyWire and a consortium of researchers ...

Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons. Motor neuron sends electrical ...

The virus travels from the tumor cell back through the neuron that connects to it. The researchers injected human glioma cells into the brains of mice and waited for neurons to connect with the ...

Nicolás Méndez helms a sublime spot for the telecommunications company reflecting on the interconnected nature of humanity.

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

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' ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible ...

There are also many scales of organization above a neuron. Neurons connect with each other to form local neural circuits, which combine to form structures such as cortical columns. Eventually ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made ...
