In a study published today (Feb. 11) in the journal Science Advances, the researchers demonstrated that the MPS structure lining nerve cells acts as a physical gatekeeper for nearly every major form ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chronic pain affects roughly 51 million adults in the United States alone, and for most of them, the available drug options ...

Brain function has traditionally been interpreted within a neuron-centric framework; however, this view has shifted toward a model of neuron-glia ...

You can 3D-print nearly anything: rockets, mouse ovaries, and for some reason, lamps made of orange peels. Now, scientists at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have printed living neural ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see -- but it's been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers ...

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 ...
