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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

we might conclude that the lower neuron density this paper found in cortical areas involved with memory, learning, reasoning and problem-solving means those areas don’t work as well in autistic ...
