Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions is ...

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that individual cells in the human ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

A protein called torsinA plays a key role in the early development of neurons, determining where nuclear pores are placed in the membrane that encloses the nucleus of nerve cells, a study led by UT ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...
