Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...

Unlocking the secrets of neuronal function: a universal workflow. Credit: Blue Brain Project / EPFL Biophysically detailed neuronal models provide a unique window into the workings of individual ...

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 ...

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 ...

Relapsing after quitting cocaine is not simply a matter of willpower — it reflects physical changes in the brain, according to new research. Scientists have found that repeated cocaine use reshapes ...

The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of internal organs such as the heart and gut, serving as a connection between the brain and the rest of the body. It is classified in two ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have discovered that turning brain immune cells into neurons successfully restores brain function after stroke-like injury in mice. These findings, published on ...
