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

Researchers engineered a nanodevice that senses and processes light in one structure. It mimicked neuron-like behavior, ...

Researchers stimulated human neurons and tracked gene activity. Activation exposed hidden variants and epigenetic changes ...

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

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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