Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

New research from Colorado State University into the ways neurons regulate chemical balance in the brain could provide ...

In Nature Communications, a research team affiliated with UNIST present a fully biodegradable, robust, and energy-efficient ...

UNIST researchers from South Korea have developed the fully biodegradable artificial synapse made entirely from materials ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication ...

When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical synapses, these so-called gap junctions enable the direct exchange of ...

A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals).

Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.

A large body of science has linked phthalates to a variety of serious health conditions, including premature birth and infertility. Warning: This graphic requires ...

"That is so much higher than I expected" - watch the moment Catrin Nye is told about her forever chemical levels As I walked into the medical clinic for my blood test, all I could think about was how ...
