Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the ...

Researchers discover the SELK neuron, a single-cell decision-maker in fruit flies that weighs sweet vs. bitter signals to determine whether to eat or flee.

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

A new sequencing-based method uses molecular barcodes to trace synaptic connections among neurons. The approach enables large ...

Motor neurons are the cells the brain uses to command muscles to act. Scientists typically thought of them as simple connections, much like the cables that link computers with their accessories. Now, ...

Scientists have discovered that losing a key protein in small cell lung cancer triggers inflammation that actually helps ...

A typical neuron is composed of three main structures: the cell body, axon, and dendrites. The cell body is where most of the cellular organelles are located, including the nucleus, which contains the ...

A new study published in Psychiatry Research provides evidence that certain brain cells are physically smaller in individuals with schizophrenia and that this size difference is related to the ...
