Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like ...

A diagram depicting the connectivity, where neurons are represented as points, and neurons with more similar connectivity are plotted closer together. Lines depict connections between neurons. The ...

Neuroscientists are zeroing in on how special kinds of brain cells help us see things that aren't actually there.

VEVEY, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FinalSpark, a pioneering Swiss biocomputing startup, has launched the first-ever online platform enabling global researchers to conduct experiments remotely on ...

Targeting specific brain cells modulated memory retrieval and altered anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Essentially, scientists boosted the electrical activity between cells in the hypothalamus and the ...

Researchers have discovered that expression of the ataxin‑7 gene – the cause of the neurological disorder spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 – has two regulators: a highly conserved, multi‑tasking protein ...

Converging pathways involve impulses from several neurons coming together into one neuron. Converging pathways increase sensitivity to excitatory or inhibitory signals. An example of a converging ...

How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It ...
