The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of internal organs such as the heart and gut, serving as a connection between the brain and the rest of the body. It is classified in two ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large ...

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

New research has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning. New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Neurons in the bird eye’s inner retina lack a blood supply. Finding how these neurons function without oxygen reveals a role for an enigmatic eye structure. Read the paper: Oxygen-free metabolism in ...

Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...
