Obviously, our social interactions are far more dynamic and nuanced, but given that these brain cells are conserved across species, the researchers suggest a similar “loser effect” could be at play in ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

UB study combines stem cell-based therapy with a protein that regulates neuronal development to advance new strategies against neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic brain injury. The study is led ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...
