New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

The same neuron can tell fruit flies to walk toward the smell of rotting fruit and speed up, according to new research from ...

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

In research published last year in Neuron, Kwan used two-photon microscopy to show that a single dose of psilocybin increased the number of neuronal connections in a mouse brain by about 10%.

Advancing our understanding of the human brain will require new insights into how neural circuitry works in mammals, including laboratory mice. These ...

Holographic microscopy illuminates pain-driven changes in neuronal network activity. Kobe University. Journal Science Advances Funder Japan Science and Technology Agency, Japan Society for the ...

To investigate, the scientists examined the action potential - the 'firing' of the neuron - and how the impulse propagates through the neuron. Typically, the dendrites receive the signal, which ...
