Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

A study has described how a gene mutation linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disrupts the stability of neurons and “chokes off” their nuclei, impairing their function. The research, ...

Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those ...

Researchers from Skoltech and their colleagues have investigated nerve cell regulation. Mounting knowledge of regulation mechanisms will enable a better understanding of how the healthy brain operates ...

Researchers at Linköping University have built artificial neurons from conductive plastics that replicate up to 17 biological ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve ...
