Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the human brain.

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...

Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

A team of scientists has identified specialized neurons in the brain that store "meal memories" detailed recollections of when and what we eat. These engrams, found in the ventral hippocampus, help ...

The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much ...

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: ...

The article from Tech Horizons reports a groundbreaking discovery by researchers at Case Western Reserve University, led by Dominique Durand, revealing a previously unknown form of neural ...

Binge drinking in early adult years fundamentally changes how the brain's neurons communicate, in what scientists equate to a faulty gas pedal in a car that needs more pressure applied to "go." What's ...

Gustatory receptor neurons are thought to be responsible for sensing taste and communicating with the central nervous system about food quality — guiding decision-making — according to the paper. The ...
