The neuron-as-controller model was inspired by what scientists do understand about large-scale circuits in the brain made up of many neurons.

Neurons are unique-looking little cells. Like all animal cells, a neuron has a cell body, called a soma, where the DNA-carrying nucleus sits, providing directions for the cell to make various ...

Computational neuroscientists taught an artificial neural network to imitate a biological neuron. The result offers a new way to think about the complexity of single brain cells.

Soma (cell body) — this portion of the neuron receives information. It contains the cell’s nucleus. Dendrites — these thin filaments carry information from other neurons to the soma.

Neuron models provide a non-invasive way to investigate the brain, but most existing models are either computationally intensive or cannot model complex neuronal responses.

Since PNS microglia are required for soma enlargement during neuron maturation, they may be subject to stronger selective pressure in vertebrates with larger peripheral neuronal somas—potentially ...

An international group of scientists led by Ádám Dénes, Institute of Experimental Medicine, Budapest, Hungary, reported that the soma of neurons in both humans and mice is dotted with docking areas ...

Neuron models provide a non-invasive way to investigate the brain, but most existing models are either computationally intensive or cannot model complex neuronal responses.

Scientists divide thousands of different neurons into groups based on function and shape. Let's discuss neuron anatomy and how it varies.
