New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures ...

The human brain is known to store various memories for long periods of time, progressively learning from new experiences and forming adaptive representations that ultimately guide decision-making and ...

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 ...

More CRISPRi screens showed that different genes in ApoE4 versus ApoE3 astrocytes modulated neuron survival. ApoE4 astrocytes boosted neuronal expression of genes involved in synaptic transmission and ...

Integrated laser graded neuron enabling high-speed reservoir computing without a feedback loop. Optica, 2024; 11 (12): 1690 DOI: 10.1364/OPTICA.537231 ...

The tool is the newest part of Neuron, the firm's self-service software platform for emerging companies that it launched in 2021. It is offered on a fixed-fee basis and is targeted, for now ...

Action potentials trigger neuropeptide release, but instead of traversing nanometers to the next neuron as neurotransmitters do, neuropeptides take a long voyage around the brain.

Glutamergic — releases glutamine. They are often excitatory, meaning that they are more likely to trigger an action potential. GABAergic — release GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid).

Each neuron receives electrical inputs from about 1000 other neurons. Impulses arriving simultaneously are added together and, if sufficiently strong, lead to the generation of an electrical discharge ...
