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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see -- but it's been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers ...

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 ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

First-of-its-kind link: Northwestern engineers printed artificial neurons that sent recognizable signals to living brain cells for the first time. Nanomaterial-based design: The devices use graphene ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...
