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

Exercise promotes neuron growth via biochemical and physical effects, aiding nerve healing and neurodegenerative disease treatment.

Excitatory synapses send signals that encourage the creation of an action potential by the next neuron; inhibitory synapses work against it. Each neuron receives signals from both excitatory and ...

Scientists have pinpointed a brain circuit that, when activated, reduces anxiety without impairing memory. Using ...

Their findings, published in Neuron, suggest that the two systems interact in the hippocampus, with persistent WM activity predicting the formation of LTM. "Working memory (WM) and long-term ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

Their work suggests a new target for treating anxiety disorders ... Activating mGluR2—a tiny "dimmer switch" that reduces the ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience ... “a healthy mind in a healthy immune system.” They discuss early work on the potential to slow brain aging by rejuvenating the immune system ...

One gene, GSK3β, weakens neuron defenses against oxidative stress ... who was not involved in the work. Enter a CRISPRi-based screen Kampmann previously used to analyze 2D cultures of iPSC-derived ...

A motor neuron disease MND patient has been named the Australian of the Year for 2025 for his work to find a cure for the neurodegenerative conditio ...
