I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...
Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...
A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...
A hidden communication network between brain cells and glioblastoma tumors may be key to slowing this aggressive cancer.
New research from the University of St Andrews, the University of Copenhagen and Drexel University has developed AI computational models that predict the degeneration of neural networks in amyotrophic ...
A small molecule, 10H-phenothiazine (PTZ), may lessen motor neuron loss. PTZ improved nerve cell structure and communication in SMA models. Further studies in mammalian models are needed, researchers ...
Researchers have come up with a clever new way of freezing brain cells just as they fire out a signal, meaning processes that normally happen too quickly to observe can be studied in detail – and ...
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report the successful creation of artificial synaptic vesicles that can be remotely controlled by near-infrared (NIR) ...
