Neurons aren’t just brain cells—they’re intricate biological machines that transmit, process, and adapt to information using both electrical and chemical signals. Supported by glial cells, they 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 ...

Your brain is the most complex structure in the known universe, and it’s a masterpiece of efficiency. It calculates ...

Concerned about the effects of these changes, biophysicist Elena Molokanova and her team sought a more natural way to stimulate neurons in cell culture. In a recent study, the researchers grew neurons ...

Axons, the fundamental output structures of neurons, play a pivotal role in transmitting electrical signals over long distances without attenuation in the nervous system. Beyond their classical role ...

Researchers suggest tunneling may reflect a conserved strategy adopted by specialized migratory cell types in dense tissues.
