The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – A paper by researchers in the University at Buffalo’s Department of Mathematics that could impact the way neuron-to-neuron communications are mapped was recently published in the ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. Those are the findings of a new study conducted by Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and ...

Implantable bioelectronics are vital to neuroscience, neurological therapies, and brain-machine interfaces. They serve as indispensable interfaces that enable the communication between biological ...

Using the C. elegans worm, Dresden scientists show that sleep neuron activity controls protective gene expression during sleep. Disturbing sleep leads to overactivation of the sleep neuron, further ...

A new ultra-small and ultra-flexible electronic neural implant, delivered via blood vessels, can record single-neuron activity deep within the brains of rats, according to new study. "This technology ...
