Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify a pattern of gene expression that can be used to predict whether or ...

We effortlessly identify sensory inputs on the basis of temporal patterning alone (for instance, different Morse code symbols) and as effortlessly produce motor outputs with widely differing temporal ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

Synthetic neural circuits made from silicon can accurately mimic the electrical properties of nerve cells, researchers reported yesterday (December 3) in Nature Communications. The research aims to ...
