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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons ...

A new collaboration has unlocked new potential for the field by creating a novel high-performance organic electrochemical neuron that responds within the frequency range of human neurons.

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 ...
