Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle movement, but these signals typically pass through spinal interneurons before they reach their destination. How the brain and this highly ...

For decades, depression treatment has focused almost entirely on the brain, with drugs designed to tweak neurotransmitters ...

For decades, neuroscientists focused almost exclusively on only half of the cells in the brain. Neurons were the main players, they thought, and everything else was made up of uninteresting support ...

Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.

Researchers studied thousands of brain scans to see how the organ's architecture changes over a lifetime. University of Cambridge Your brain constantly rewires itself as you age. It may even go ...

A high-speed “zap-and-freeze” method is giving scientists their clearest view yet of how brain cells send messages. By freezing tissue at the instant a signal fires, researchers revealed how synaptic ...

An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...
