Neurons talk to one another using electricity. If you could hear these impulses, they might sound like constant, rapid-fire chatter all over the nervous system. Heart muscle cells do something ...

A new study published in Nature reveals how olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) achieve extraordinary precision in selecting which genes to express.

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified neurons that are essential for mice to engage in social interactions with novel individuals.

Science Corporation thinks connecting to the brain with living neurons could be a more viable solution for brain-machine interfaces.

Understanding how new neurons affect brain function throughout adulthood can offer new approaches to treating epilepsy and dementia.

A brain circuit made up of three types of neurons may regulate appetite, a mouse study finds.

In children with autism, neurons were found to be differently dense in some areas of the brain, compared to those without autism.

By studying the brains of macaque monkeys during turn-taking exercises, researchers may be one step closer to understanding how individual neurons in the frontal cortex work together to analyze ...

Mouse pups have increased activity in certain neurons in the centre of their brains when they interact with their mothers, which is linked to them showing fewer signs of distress ...

Conclusions Overall, the findings indicated that interactions between epicardial adipose tissue and sympathetic neurons result in an arrhythmic phenotype in cardiomyocytes.

The enthusiastic fanfare warped the study of mirror neurons and disrupted researchers’ careers. In the early 2000s, the cognitive scientist Gregory Hickok of the University of California, Irvine, ...

LMU scientists demonstrate that interactions between RNA-binding proteins affect translation and consequently the complexity of neurons.
