However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...

"Einstein said that when he uses his brain, it is like he is using a muscle, and in that respect, there is some parallel here," said Janelia Senior Group Leader Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz. "The same ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do ... supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage. Published in Nature Communications ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...
