For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past ...

Images of the exquisitely formed apparatus of the nervous system have great potential to capture the imagination. However, the fascinating complexity and diversity of neuronal form has only rarely ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send ...

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 ...

Cajal used the technique to produce the exquisitely detailed illustrations of brain cells that later formed the basis for his “neuron doctrine,” which stated that the neuron is the basic anatomical ...

For the first time, an electrical communication has just been established between a living nerve cell and its artificial ...

Researchers have developed a neuron-growing ink that uses the body's own electrical signals to precisely guide the growth of nerve cells. The bioconductive ink can be printed in lines to direct where ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.

Scientists have determined the complete wiring diagram for the part of the nervous system controlling mating in the male roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, an animal model intensively studied by ...

A discovery that may improve treatment options for patients with neurodegenerative diseases has been made by scientists at King’s College London and the University of Bath in the UK. A discovery that ...

Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead ...
