A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways, but ...

A recent study conducted by Hospital del Mar in Barcelona unveiled a fascinating detail: the way neurons organize themselves ...

To ensure we get the calories and hydration we need, the brain relies on a complex network of cells, signals, and pathways to guide us when to eat, drink, or stop. Yet, much about how the brain ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

New work in fruit flies uncovers an electrical trick that allows neurons to compute direction efficiently by juggling multiple signaling mechanisms. These findings could reframe our understanding of ...

To ensure we get the calories and hydration we need, the brain relies on a complex network of cells, signals, and pathways to guide us when to eat, drink, or stop. Yet, much about how the brain ...

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past studies suggest that specialized groups of neurons in the mammalian brain, ...
