Researchers develop a computer model to explain how nerve cell connections form in the visual cortex. When newborn babies open their eyes for the first time, they already possess nerve cells ...

One starts off by collecting experimental data, converting that into a model and watching the model grow over time. The first step is to make a whole cell map out of gene-RNA-protein interactions.

A nerve cell serves as a 'single' for studies Researchers are developing a novel human nerve cell model Date: May 14, 2019 Source: University of Bonn Summary: Nerve cells derived from human stem ...

Nerve-cell tendrils readily thread their way through tiny semiconductor tubes, researchers find, forming a crisscrossed network like vines twining toward the sun. The discovery that offshoots from ...

Scientists have created a miniature model of human pain in the form of nerve cells growing in a laboratory dish that respond to the discomfort of hot chillies and other kinds of physical distress.

For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully produced hundreds of different types of nerve cell from human stem cells in Petri dishes. In the future, it will thus be possible to ...

Animal and plant cells can be visualised using a model. Find out how to make them with Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

The activated immune cells primarily attack excitatory synapses, which are responsible for activating other nerve cells. As a consequence, the level of activity in neural networks decreases.

Scientists Identify Two Routes to Nerve Cell Regeneration Discover how nerve cells regeneration may be possible, overcoming growth obstacles in the central nervous system.
