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 ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

Aging is known to have profound effects on the human brain, prompting changes in the composition of cells and the expression of genes, while also altering aspects of the interaction between genes and ...

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

A study focused on two common types of outdoor pollutants widely linked to health harms: nitrogen dioxide and particulate ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory -- how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...
