An often-overlooked communication strategy for neurons might be more prevalent than previously believed. New research from biology professor Adam Miller's lab in the UO's College of Arts and Sciences ...
The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect ...
All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...
Implantable bioelectronics are vital to neuroscience, neurological therapies, and brain-machine interfaces. They serve as indispensable interfaces that enable the communication between biological ...
New research explains how a common brain parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, can disrupt brain functions, even when it only infects a small number of neurons. The microscopic parasite, which infects ...
