Experts have carried out a series of experiments with which, for the first time, they have been able to characterize the normal electrical activity in PC-3 prostate cancer cells in real time, with a ...

A distinct feature of the nervous system is the intricate network of synaptic connections among neurons of diverse phenotypes. Although initial connections are formed largely through molecular ...

Researchers have developed successfully mini brains in the labs which are essentially a cluster of brain cells perfused in fluids. These brain tissues are now showing electrical activity akin to real ...

Researchers have come up with a new way to measure electrical activity in the brain. Their new light-sensitive protein can be embedded into neuron membranes, where it emits a fluorescent signal that ...

Jena, Germany, 1924: Working in near-isolation and with painstaking tediousness, the psychiatrist Hans Berger observes rhythmic electrical activity from the scalp of human subjects. He is convinced ...

Single human neurons may be much more powerful computational devices than once thought, according to a new study that identifies previously unknown electrical activity in neural dendrites. At the end ...

Researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have discovered a new way to monitor electrical activity in nerve cells – by observing the behavior of water molecules surrounding neuronal ...

Scientists at the Carney Institute for Brain Science have discovered specific patterns of electrical signals in the brain that may help forecast whether a person will go on to develop Alzheimer’s ...

What does electrical activity and dust storms on Mars have in common? This is what a recent study published in Nature hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated a first-time detection of ...

Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Neurons in the brain communicate via rapid electrical impulses that allow the brain to coordinate behavior, sensation, thoughts, and emotion. Scientists who want to study this ...
