A molecular atlas of 89,494 mouse spinal neurons revealed 14 distinct groups within V1 interneurons, cells involved in coordinating movement. Loss of one small V1 subgroup was associated with slower ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed remarkably long, precisely patterned molecular threads that could open new ...

Whether speaking, driving or playing an instrument, nearly everything we do requires precise control over the timing of our ...

The neuron is the primary functional cell of the nervous system, with the human brain estimated to contain around 85 billion ...

Motor neuron disease usually refers to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but it can also refer to other kind of neurodegenerative disease that affect the motor neurons, such as progressive primary ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

The same neuron can tell fruit flies to walk towards the smell of rotting fruit and speed up, according to new research from Yale scientists. Neurobiologists once believed that each neuron held a ...
