This study presents solid evidence for distinct neurotransmitter release modalities between two subclasses of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, highlighting an important finding that ...

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making.

Our biceps and brain cells might have more in common than we believed. According to a new study from the Lippincott-Schwartz ...

A new electrical stimulation therapy for spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) has shown promise in reactivating motor neurons and ...

In a study published in the journal Current Biology, Johns Hopkins researchers discovered that individual neurons in the ...

Columbia scientists have identified specialized brainstem neurons that tell mice when to stop eating. These cells integrate ...

A friend asked for a column on shingles. Shingles is a reactivation of the varicella zoster virus that causes chickenpox, and ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

Abstract: Previous works have shown that providing visuo-tactile stimuli synchronously or/and congruent to an artificial and physical body part cause users to perceive the artificial body part as ...

Treating the neurons and me — my mental states — in a synergistic way proved to speed up and enhance healing. It does for ...

sensory afferents. Neurons are a type of cells that make up our nervous system. Each neuron has two main parts: a cell body and a tail-like extension called the axon. The spinal cord has some cell ...
