A new process for converting skin cells to neurons directly could make it easier to develop therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.

Researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center have identified the specific neurons in mice brains ... and discern the different types of cells in there, down to their molecular composition.

How do neurons respond to direct stimulation? Normally, stimulation comes through the five sensory inputs: eyes, ears, skin and hair, tongue, and nose. That’s a simple way to put it. But we aren ...

National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost ...

Mirror neurons received significant media attention in the 2000s and were painted by some scientists as the key to many of our advanced social abilities. However, many of the more significant ...

In this sense, declines in brain function with age have generally been attributed to a decrease in the activity of neurons over time. However, in humans, some types of neurons have been reported ...
