Neuron morphology and sub-neuronal patterns offer vital insights into cell typing and the structural organization of brain networks. The community-collaborative BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network ...

Repetitive stereotyped behaviors are core symptoms of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and fragile X syndrome (FXS), the prevalent genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism. The nigrostriatal ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed the data, published landmark papers, and moved on. Then a computer model ...

Cells have surface receptors that couple to proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors.

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...

In many neurodegenerative diseases, proteins misfold and clump together in brain tissue. Researchers used sugar-coated, peptide-based nanofibers to trap and neutralize misfolded proteins before they ...

Alzheimer's disease is driven by a buildup of a toxic protein called Tau that kills neurons. As toxic Tau spreads to new ...

Cells have surface receptors that couple with proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors. Typically, the number of these receptors increases as the cell matures, but ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...

Migraine drug flunarizine reversed abnormal microRNA patterns in SMA cells and mice, indicating the drug may help protect ...
