Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like ...

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

The team’s advance changes this. “Ours register only 0.1 volts, which about the same as the neurons in our bodies,” says Yao.

Different brain regions are connected by—and interact through—networks of neurons. But the extent to which neuronal wiring drives shared function between these different regions is not well understood ...

Hypothermia can preserve neuron health following brain injury, but complications from external cooling make it less promising ...

Scientists have discovered a way to induce a hibernation-like state that protects the brain after injury—without using external cooling.

By profiling brains from healthy people aged one to 104, researchers found that mutations accumulate in some genes more than ...

When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...
