Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead ...

The researchers found that this process is triggered when a neuronal signal causes calcium to enter the dendrite through voltage-gated ion channel proteins, which are positioned at the contact sites.

New research has shown that Sonic Hedgehog (SHH)–Gli1 signaling in microglia amplifies inflammatory responses through the IKKβ/NF-κB pathway, contributing to dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson’s ...

Researchers have successfully developed a fully embedded wireless brain neural signal recorder. This innovative technology enables real-time recording of brain neural signals generated by the ...

Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...

Northwestern University researchers have built a printed artificial neuron from graphene and molybdenum disulfide that can ...

University of Pennsylvania and Syracuse University scientists have discovered that a hindbrain-derived peptide, octadecaneuropeptide (ODN), can suppress appetite and improve glucose regulation without ...
