The article from Tech Horizons reports a groundbreaking discovery by researchers at Case Western Reserve University, led by Dominique Durand, revealing a previously unknown form of neural ...

The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much ...

Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...

To communicate, neurons must oscillate in the same rhythm. It's like using a walkie-talkie: both devices must be tuned to the same frequency or you'll only hear static. "We were now able to show that ...

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: ...

Built of low-powered protein nanowires, made from bacteria, these neurons open the door to vastly more efficient, bio-inspired computers AMHERST, Mass. — A team of engineers at the University of ...

For more than a century, scientists believed they had a solid understanding of how the brain’s billions of neurons talk to each other. Messages flowed through synapses, where chemical messengers leapt ...

The central nervous system (CNS) is governed by complex intercellular communication networks that extend beyond traditional synaptic signaling. Soluble ...

A team of scientists has identified specialized neurons in the brain that store "meal memories" detailed recollections of when and what we eat. These engrams, found in the ventral hippocampus, help ...
