A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a discovery that could help refine future stem-cell therapies for paralysis. The ...
Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the ...
The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much ...
How do brain regions communicate? Researchers introduce a new optogenetic method to target long-distance circuits in ...
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps pain sensing nerve cells stay ...
Why do parasites cause loss of appetite? Scientists have identified a gut-to-brain signaling pathway involving tuft cells and ...
WASHINGTON – A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues with rewards can be altered by increased or decreased activity ...
Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...
The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
