The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from ...

A team at University of Massachusetts Amherst developed artificial neurons that fire in the same voltage range as living cells. Silicon and biology can now speak the same electrical language.

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a ...

Johns Hopkins scientists found that neurons form tiny nanotube networks to transport toxins like amyloid-beta.

In the lab, Johns Hopkins University neuroscientist Minhyeok Chang and colleagues identified tiny tubular bridges in the ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

A groundbreaking study conducted by engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has developed an artificial neuron whose electrical activity closely matches that of natural brain ...

A groundbreaking study reveals how neurons sense and transmit mechanical forces across their membranes—a key to understanding touch, movement, and development.

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...
