The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and ...
After the storm comes the calm. But contrary to the famous proverb, the brain's neurons enter a period of calm before the ...
Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.
Researchers recorded neural activity and blood flow in mice. Opposing neuron populations predicted blood flow more accurately ...
Pediatricians and parents — and, really, anyone who works with children — have long known that a child’s social needs evolve with age. Yale researchers have now discovered the neurological signaling ...
Single neurons in mouse sensorimotor cortex are organized by their activity features into distinct subpopulations with area-spanning footprints whose boundaries align closely with anatomical and ...
Researchers identified VIP inhibitory neurons in Huntington’s disease and used optogenetics to restore motor neuron activity in mice.
A team led by Jason Shepherd at the University of Utah has identified the protein responsible for loading toxic tau into tiny ...
A study in zebrafish shows that neuronal microexons regulate brain activity by modulating cAMP signaling. Loss of these fragments leads to hyperactivity and sleep disruption, offering insights into ...
Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study publishing February 12 in the Cell Press journal Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from ...
