Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

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' ...

Random noise, such as background hubbub on a phone call, is usually thought of as unwanted interference. Now researchers at ...

Pain is an example of an important sensory neuron. When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical ...

The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed model that mimics brain tissue, using nanopillar arrays to guide neuron growth. The ...

Cognitive thinking abilities, such as planning and organising, remembering, making decisions and more, all affect how well we do everyday tasks, and whether we can live independently or not.
