A healthy brain maintains a harmony of neurons that excite or inhibit other neurons, but the lines between different types of ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

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 ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like ...

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 ...

Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

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? Neurons are the cells that govern brain function, and you ...

Summary: Scientists have shown that neurons don’t rely solely on sugar for energy — they can also burn fat. When energy ...

Neurons selective to running trajectories in the rat anterior cingulate cortex are reactivated during observation and interact with hippocampal replay to guide subsequent spatial navigation.

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...
