When a neuron receives a stimulus ... to understand how they interact in real-time and to identify their distinct functions in living animals. Now, new advancements in the development of ...

The ultimate effect of a signal from one neuron on the next neuron depends on the function of the synapse, which is based on the type of neurotransmitter released. Excitatory synapses send signals ...

Infections, chemicals, stress—these environmental factors influence the risk of developing psychiatric or neurological ...

Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence researchers have identified over 60 transcriptomic neuron types in the ...

New research revealed that the reason behind brain aging is not loss of function or decline but excessive neuron ...

Researchers have identified the mitochondrial calcium uniporter as a critical protein in the strengthening of synaptic ...

Neuron density, or the number of brain cells in a given volume of the brain, has long been considered a proxy for brain function. (Beul 2019) Dense clusters of neurons are thought to reflect the ...

Along with variation in dendritic structure and channel distributions, such variability suggests that different pyramidal neurons might carry out specialized functions. Pyramidal-neuron dendrites ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle ...
