Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved a significant breakthrough by employing scatterometry, a technique originally used to measure semiconductor microstructures, for the analysis of ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, ...

Scientists have developed a pioneering new method that uses deep learning and a new technique called 'targeted augmentation' to track neurons in moving and deforming animals. Recent advances allow ...

Researchers propose that placozoans, one of the simplest kinds of animals, may contain the blueprint for the neurons of more complex creatures. By Sam Jones For hundreds of millions of years, ...

Learn how mapping gene-control switches in an ancient sea anemone reveals how identical DNA can produce many different cell ...

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

Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

For more than a century, neuroscience textbooks have treated damaged neurons in the adult central nervous system as a dead end, especially in the delicate circuitry that carries visual information ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.
