The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Neurons balance energy efficiency by regulating protein synthesis based on molecular properties like stability and size.

RIKEN neuroscientists found oxytocin-secreting neurons are selectively impaired in an autism mouse model, affecting social ...

Excitatory projection neurons of the neocortex are thought to play important roles in perceptual and cognitive functions of the brain by directly connecting diverse cortical and subcortical areas.

For maggots, the experience of eating a succulent meal isn’t just about how their food tastes, but also how it feels.

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Recent studies suggest that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) neurons in the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) represent aversive information and signal a general alarm to the forebrain. If CGRP neurons ...

The 3D-printed brain-like model from TU Delft promotes structured neuronal networks, offering a new tool for investigating ...

Mirror neurons received significant media attention in the 2000s and were painted by some scientists as the key to many of our advanced social abilities. However, many of the more significant ...

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

Pyramidal neurons originating from germinal zones migrate along radial glial fibers to their final position in the cortical plate by both radial migration and tangential dispersion. These processes ...

Neurons that are firing at the same rate can ... resulting in more than 5000 downloads of the original paper announcing the contest. Around 1500 experiments were run on the site.
