A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...

When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

Medical University of South Carolina scientists report in Neuron that they have uncovered a way to restore an opioid-weakened brain pathway in a preclinical model. The MUSC research team, led by ...

The world, and countless generations of interactions with it, coaxed our brains to evolve in the unique way that humans perceive reality. And yet, thanks to the past century's developments in ...

In a new study, an aging clock has revealed neuron-specific aging, as well as potentially neuroprotective compounds.

Brain tumors do not just invade healthy tissue. They also physically squeeze it, and that mechanical compression may be enough to trigger neuron death in the surrounding brain. Two peer-reviewed ...
