Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly ...

In a study published today (Feb. 11) in the journal Science Advances, the researchers demonstrated that the MPS structure lining nerve cells acts as a physical gatekeeper for nearly every major form ...

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

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

A protein called torsinA plays a key role in the early development of neurons, determining where nuclear pores are placed in the membrane that encloses the nucleus of nerve cells, a study led by UT ...

By revealing the CA1's layered structure, the study provides a roadmap to investigate which specific neuron types are most vulnerable in these disorders. "Discoveries like this exemplify how modern ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

Dual-technique breakthrough: By merging SMLM’s ultra-high resolution with SIM’s ability to capture motion, researchers can build a richer picture of neuron structure and activity. Impact on ...
