For years, one of the simplest explanations for human intelligence was also one of the biggest: the human brain has an enormous number of neurons. It also has an even more enormous web of connections ...
DZNE researchers have uncovered a mechanism that determines why a neuron usually forms a single, long extension called an ...
A tiny circuit, printed from ink made of atom-thin crystals, just fired electrical pulses that a living brain cell recognized and responded to. Researchers at Northwestern University say it is the ...
Interim clinical findings from the first Phase I/IIa trial using autologous-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived ...
Researchers engineered a nanodevice that senses and processes light in one structure. It mimicked neuron-like behavior, integrating signals and triggering responses, which could support ...
Researchers have identified a previously overlooked mechanism of brain cell death that appears to play a major role in ...
Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the eyes see, not every neuron ends up answering the call to process properties of ...
Cell death in dementia has long posed a frustrating problem. Toxic proteins pile up inside neurons in Alzheimer’s disease and ...
The team worked for 10 years to uncover the hidden brain-cell death process fueling several dementias, revealing a key new ...
While early in life, the accumulation of iron appears to have little effect on neuron function, later in life, it can ...
