McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes ...

A new study from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience researchers may help explain an enduring mystery about ...

Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...

New research uncovers the impact of excess iron accumulation in neurons, causing vulnerability to stress and leading to neurodegenerative diseases. The mechanism, named chronoferroptosis, highlights ...

ALS and other motor neuron diseases are increasing in Europe, with a 2.8% annual prevalence rise. This rise is partly due to ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

Language-Specific Hardware: At the single-neuron level inside the hippocampus, individual cells are largely language-specific, meaning they do not automatically fire for identical concepts across ...

Cells have surface receptors that couple with proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors. Typically, the number of these receptors increases as the cell matures, but ...

Understanding linguistic and semantic processing in the human brain involves exploring intricate neural networks. However, it remains unclear whether and how the amygdala and hippocampus are involved ...

A tiny implant placed in a Michigan woman’s brain is now carrying a very big question. Can a fully implanted, wireless device ...

Experience sculpts brain structure and function. Activity-dependent modulation of the myelinated infrastructure of the nervous system has emerged as a dimension of adaptive change during childhood ...
