New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

In contrast, synapses on basal dendrites became stronger if they were active at the same time that the neuron fired an action potential—an electrical signal that represents output.

For the first time, a novel amorphous-Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (a-IGZO) anti-ferroelectric field-effect transistor (AFeFET)-based leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron is experimentally demonstrated, ...

In her doctoral research at Columbia University, Ganguly creates models of the neuronal connections in the fruit fly brain ...

Motor neurons project from the central nervous system to innervate muscle cells to either directly or indirectly control their activity. Contact between a motor neuron and muscle cell is usually ...

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

A new study reveals that inhibitory neurons born later in development mature more quickly than earlier ones, allowing them to ...

The French air force's future unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) will break cover during the Paris air show, with developer Dassault Aviation to reveal a model of the type within its static display.

NEULARK trial to evaluate NEU-411, a brain-penetrant, potent and selective LRRK2 inhibitor, in people with LRRK2-driven Parkinson’s disease; topline data anticipated in 2027 ...

Cellular neuroscience is the study of neurons at the cellular level. It includes cell morphology and physiological properties such as membrane trafficking, synthesis and transport of proteins, and ...
