Children with autism have different brains than children without autism, down to the structure and density of their neurons, according to a study by the University of Rochester Medical Center, New ...

They created a library of the different electrical signatures for each type of neuron, which then allowed them to train an AI algorithm that can automatically recognise five different types of neurons ...

Researchers discovered that different types of neurons showed distinct patterns of 'syncing up' with electrical fields. These patterns varied depending on the rate at which the electrical stimulation ...

A new study in Nature Communications could influence how gene therapies are designed for many genetic diseases. Pictured: Gokul Ramadoss, the first author, is a PhD candidate in Bruce Conklin's lab at ...

CABRIDGE, MA -- In patients with Huntington’s disease, neurons in a part of the brain called the striatum are among the hardest-hit. Degeneration of these neurons contributes to patients’ loss of ...

When it comes to brain cells, neurons get the most attention. Their central role in our thoughts, sensations and behaviors has captivated scientists. But neurons are only half the story: glia, ...

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...

Understanding and treating brain disorders such as tremor, imbalance, and speech impairments requires deep knowledge of the cerebellum, a part of the brain that’s crucial for making accurate movements ...

Neuroscientists find two distinct cell populations in the striatum are affected differently by Huntington's disease. They believe neurodegeneration of one of these populations leads to motor ...
