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 ...

Now, a new study from Caltech uncovers diverse neuron populations within the sympathetic nervous system and reveals how they control visceral functions in an organ-specific manner. The research ...

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

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

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

Neuroscience examines the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system. Neuroscientists use cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition ...

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

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 ...

A new electrical stimulation therapy for spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) has shown promise in reactivating motor neurons and ...
