Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly ...
Rugby league player Jai Arrow's recently announced diagnosis of motor neuron disease has again brought this devastating ...
All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these ...
A tiny circuit, printed from ink made of atom-thin crystals, just fired electrical pulses that a living brain cell recognized ...
Researchers identify key rules for how visual cortex neurons organize thousands of synaptic inputs based on distance and clustering.
Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the ...
A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...
New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...
Exercise may be training your brain just as much as your body. Researchers discovered that certain brain cells stay highly ...
