Parkinson's disease primarily affects neurons in the brain that produce dopamine (depicted here). Now, RIKEN researchers have found that ...
The nervous system contains hundreds of different types of neurons that have physical forms specialized for their functions. Neurons communicate using electrical signals, or action potentials.
By crafting an artificial brain-like environment with microscopic nanopillars, researchers have successfully guided neurons ...
Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating.Though many ...
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 ...
Advancements could enhance perceptual capabilities in robotics. Artificially engineered biological processes, such as ...
Discover how individual neurons in the brain learn to recognize and predict patterns in the flow of time, providing insights into the structure of time.
not only validated the molecular definitions of the cell types by comparing them with known anatomical and physiological data, but also identified new subtypes of major neurons involved in the ...
