A dentist practice manager is getting his teeth into a fundraising challenge and will be stopping off in West Norfolk along ...

A new study published in Science has found that neurons in the brain do not follow a single strategy when learning. Instead, different parts of the same neuron—its upper and lower branches—adjust ...

In lab tests, NU-9 was shown to reduce this buildup inside cells and along neuron branches, called dendrites, which are structures that help cells receive messages from other brain cells.

The Brief Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD trustees voted Thursday night to close four schools. Those schools are Furneaux Elementary, Central Elementary, McCoy Elementary, and Long Middle School ...

In the fly’s visual system, for example, neurons are on average about 0.6mm “long” (i.e. the combined length of all the neuron’s branches) and have about 270 inputs and 500 outputs.

Each neuron can have hundreds of branches that connect it to other neurons. The points where these branches meet and transmit signals between neurons are called synapses.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the McCulloch-Pitts neuron. Because I’m passionate about the history of AI, I felt compelled to write about McCulloch-Pitts after reading a lot of ...

Lion’s mane mushroom extract may have a significant impact on the growth of brain cells and improving memory, which could inspire treatments against disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Once a neuron integrates its receiving electrical signals, the pulses travel down the branches until they reach a synapse. Here, the signals instruct dozens of parked “boats”—picture little soap ...
