Neurons, the cells in brains and spinal cords that make up the central nervous system, communicate by firing electrical pulses. But scientists have found hints that neurons may transmit light as well, ...

New research has settled the debate between ‘kiss-and-run’ and ‘full-collapse’ fusion to explain how neurons transmit signals across synapses. Scientists from the University of Science and Technology ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
