May 18, 2021 When neuroscientists analyzed the exact properties of nerve connections in the brain, they made a startling observation: At a key connection, or synapse, messages are sent against the usual stream of ...
Sep. 27, 2023 In C. elegans worms, a single neuron named HSN uses multiple chemicals and connections to orchestrate egg-laying and locomotion over the course of several ...
June 1, 2022 The study reports a novel neuron type in the hippocampus, defines its functional role in the brain, discloses its connectivity with other nerve cells and brain areas and progresses the understanding ...
Apr. 18, 2022 Studying how brain cells respond to signals from their neighbors can aid the understanding of cognition and development. However, experimentally measuring the brain's activity is complicated. ...
June 9, 2022 Researchers examining the brain at a single-neuron level found that computation happens not just in the interaction between neurons, but within each individual neuron. Each of these cells, it turns ...
May 10, 2021 BARseq2 is a new brain mapping technique that can identify cells by the unique sets of genes they use. Neuroscientists can use this tool to understand how brain cells are organized and ...
Dec. 2, 2021 The brain is indeed a target for treating ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), scientists have discovered. This flips a long-standing belief the disease starts in the spinal motor neurons and any ...
June 3, 2022 High-resolution microscopy now enabled an international research team to enlarge the knowledge about species-specific differences of the architecture of cortical ...
Apr. 28, 2021 Across fruit flies, rodents and humans, levels of glutamate transporter in dopamine neurons determine the individual's vulnerability to age-related neurologic ...
May 18, 2022 New preclinical research on the experimental drug, NU-9, to treat ALS shows it is more effective than existing FDA-approved drugs for the disease. More importantly, NU-9 has an enhanced effect when ...
