Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication ...

New research from the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences shows that neurons can stabilize their signaling using a fast, physical mechanism — not the electrical activity scientists long ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

New research from Colorado State University into the ways neurons regulate chemical balance in the brain could provide ...

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages between neurons with unprecedented speed and sensitivity. Dramatic performance ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain’s neurons has a kind of ‘molecular memory’, which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

In order for large-scale artificial neural network hardware to become practical in the future, it is essential to integrate artificial neuron and synaptic devices, and it is necessary to reduce mass ...

Astrocytes, which are brain cells that regulate neuronal communication, show long-term degradation from stress. Share on Pinterest Stress may physically alter neural communication. “The experience of ...

More than a century ago, the anatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal unveiled his incredibly detailed drawings of neurons. From these, he posited that neurons were the main building blocks of the brain and ...
