Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

New research shows that different brain regions handle timing and location in distinct ways, offering fresh insights into how ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial ...

Our biceps and brain cells might have more in common than we believed. According to a new study from the Lippincott-Schwartz ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that helps brain cells adapt and strengthen connections, ...

Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...

Brain activity is filled with random ... noise appears to increase the amount of time it takes for inhibitory neuron connections with other neurons to weaken. This slowing effect in turn ...
