Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the human brain.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have unraveled the processes that give astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell in the brain, their special bushy shape, which is fundamental for brain ...

Researchers have developed a system that connects two neurons by using light-emitting enzymes and light-sensitive ion channels. Our brains are made of billions of neurons, which are connected forming ...

Researchers from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) have discovered that when cancer spreads in the brain, it changes the brain’s ...

The idea of mapping the brain is not new. Researchers have known for years that the key to treating, curing, and even preventing brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and traumatic ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

A new study suggests that cognitive loss in patients with brain metastases may be due to the interference that cancer produces in neuronal circuits. When cancer spreads in the brain, it changes the ...

A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and touch. When a person feels ...
