Different types of neurons include sensory, motor, and interneurons, as well as their structurally based features, which include unipolar, multipolar, bipolar, and pseudo-unipolar neurons.

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

The brain remains the king of computers. The most sophisticated machines inspired by it, known as "neuromorphic," now comprise up to 100 million neurons, as many as the brain of a small mammal ...

In general, neurons in the PNS receive and carry signals in the body while neurons in the CNS analyze information. Types of Neurons Sensory neurons The cell bodies of sensory neurons are located in ...

To test if this hypothesis was true, they eliminated neurotransmission from a subset of glutamatergic nuclei neurons using Ntsr1-cre driver. Upon repeating the same behavioral paradigms, they did ...

So far, researchers have identified seven distinct types of dopamine neurons by looking at their genetic profiles. A study published in August 2023 was the first to parse dopamine function based ...

For these experiments, the researchers tested two types of neurons: some dissected from mouse embryos, and others produced by inducing human stem cells to form neurons.

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Just three types of brain cells collaborate to suppress or enhance appetite, driving mice to eat less or more food, the study found.. First, specialized neurons detect "hunger-signaling hormones ...

The connection point between a neuron emitting a spike (the presynaptic neuron) and the receiving neuron (the postsynaptic neuron) is the synapse.Each neuron is connected to about 10,000 other neurons ...
