New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.

Researchers have successfully developed a fully embedded wireless brain neural signal recorder. This innovative technology enables real-time recording of brain neural signals generated by the ...

Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

Based on the DA mediation, some sophisticated neuronal functions, including integration-and-firing, synaptic facilitation-induced spike broadening and DA-tunable spiking number and width, were ...

A large barrier in neuroscience is the ability for researchers to conduct studies on a live, functioning brain without surgery or implanting probes. Today researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send signals that help us catch a ball, recognize a favorite song or pull our ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

Northwestern University researchers have built a printed artificial neuron from graphene and molybdenum disulfide that can ...
