This study provides compelling evidence that action potential (AP) broadening is not a universal feature of homeostatic plasticity in response to chronic activity deprivation. By leveraging ...

Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start—it becomes refined by what babies see—but the authors of a new MIT study still weren't prepared for the ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working ...

MolFETs are described by a circuital model whose physical characteristics are extracted from atomistic simulations. The designed neuron is a single column of a crossbar-like circuit representing a ...

New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

Active vision dynamically refines spatiotemporal neural representations, optimising visual processing through scanning behaviour and non-associative learning, providing insights into efficient sensory ...

Updated versions of Tesla’s Model S Plaid and Model Y Performance have been spotted testing at the Nürburgring, suggesting imminent launches.

Their model predicts parameters of synaptic function that could not be tested experimentally in the past, opening new avenues ...

Using stem cells from patients with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Cedars-Sinai has created a lifelike model of the mysterious and fatal disease that could help identify a cause of the ...

The neuron theory There was, however, a tissue that seemed to belie cell theory — nervous tissue. Because of its softness and fragility, it was difficult to handle and susceptible to deterioration.
