Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory -- how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial ...

Scientists explore how the immune and nervous systems constantly communicate, influencing brain diseases, behavior, and ...

Harvard researchers have mapped and cataloged more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a ...

Previous attempts at obtaining pure neuronal cultures required the use ... consisting of colony growth on feeder cells, culture as a flat monolayer during which growth must be carefully monitored ...

Researchers use human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived models to create genetically accurate disease models for which genotype and phenotype are closely matched. However, this process can ...

Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have developed a 3D-printed neuronal culture platform that ... Neurons, like other cells, respond to the stiffness and structure of their ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic levels. Researchers are looking for technologies that let them delve deeper into neuronal ...

Conceptual diagram summarizing the central experiment comparing cell death in amyloid-β treated neuronal cells with and without pancreatic β cell culture supernatant. Pancreas cells may produce ...

The researchers found that certain regions of the cerebral cortex showed lower neuron density in autistic children than in controls. That means were there less brain cells in regions associated ...
