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 ...

The neurons in our brain that underlie thought connect to each other using tiny branch-like structures on their surfaces ...

Super-resolution microscopes have revealed a whole new type of connection between neurons in mouse and human brains. 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, ...

That's like an artificial neuron 'screaming' at the top of its lungs to a typical human neuron. All that hollering takes a ...

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

The number of people living with dementia worldwide was estimated at 57 million in 2021 with nearly 10 million new cases ...

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 ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...
