Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

Interrupting signals exchanged between tumors and the nervous system could become a critical pillar of cancer care ...

Harvard researchers have mapped and cataloged more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a ...

This study presents solid evidence for distinct neurotransmitter release modalities between two subclasses of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, highlighting an important finding that ...

Advancements could enhance perceptual capabilities in robotics. Artificially engineered biological processes, such as ...

This important study provides new evidence on the role of norepinephrine (NE) release in the hippocampus in response to environmental transitions (event boundaries), providing a potential link between ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system. These regions, including the cortex, basal ganglia, brainstem, and ...

Artificial neuron has 50 times broader frequency range than past models Using engineered tactile receptors and synapses, scientists demonstrate first complete artificial sensing system Organic ...

A new collaboration between Northwestern University and Georgia Tech has unlocked new potential for the field by creating a novel high-performance organic electrochemical neuron (OECN ... artificial ...

Pain is an example of an important sensory neuron. When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical ...

Precise apposition of pre- to postsynaptic specializations is required for optimal function of chemical synapses, but little is known about how it is achieved. At the skeletal neuromuscular ...

The contents of a confiscated bag that was labeled ‘definitely not a bag full of drugs.’ According to police, it was, in fact, a bag full of drugs. (Brevard County Sheriff’s Office ...
