New research provides a potential brain-based explanation for social touch aversion in some forms of autism. A study published in Nature Communications finds that in a mouse model of Fragile X ...

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

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

Scientists have developed a 3D-printed implant that delivers targeted electrical stimulation to damaged areas of the spinal ...

A research team at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has developed a 3D printed implant to deliver electrical ...

Researchers in Ireland have 3D-printed a biomimetic spinal implant that encourages electrical stimulation and has potential ...

The tweak lessened pearling in simulations and slowed electrical signals as they passed through the simulated axon. Recording electrical signals from living mouse neurons led to similar results.

Scientists also found non-tumor cells that are neuron-glia hybrids, suggesting that this cell population may contribute to healthy brain function.

The team found that these electrical synapses don’t simply transmit signals, they also act as a “filter.” In worms with normal INX -1 function, the electrical connection effectively dampens signals ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

“Others have proposed that some glia cells known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) may fire electrical impulses in the rodent brain, but confirming this in humans had proven a difficult task.

Researchers in Ireland have developed a promising new 3D-printed implant that may help repair spinal cord injuries by ...
