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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people ...

An interaction between two proteins points to a molecular basis for memory. But how do memories last when the molecules that ...

Active vision dynamically refines spatiotemporal neural representations, optimising visual processing through scanning behaviour and non-associative learning, providing insights into efficient sensory ...

Wheatstone says the Neuron ’s spectral approach makes it stand out from the crowd. The FM/HD/DAB+ processor uses 1/3-octave band resolution for transient peak control without pulling down critical ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

A new study published in Science has found that neurons in the brain do not follow a single strategy when learning. Instead, different parts of the same neuron—its upper and lower branches—adjust ...

The stoma, a small hole in her abdomen, removes the waste from her body into the fitted bag, which Lucy has to regularly empty. Over the past few days, she has been sharing her festival prep with ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

NEULARK trial to evaluate NEU-411, a brain-penetrant, potent and selective LRRK2 inhibitor, in people with LRRK2-driven Parkinson’s disease; topline data anticipated in 2027 ...

The neuron theory There was, however, a tissue that seemed to belie cell theory — nervous tissue. Because of its softness and fragility, it was difficult to handle and susceptible to deterioration.
