Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence, in collaboration with the University of Regensburg and Stanford University, have identified specific populations of neurons ...

Brains are adaptable and flexible. Commonly, the brain cells or neurons were believed to remain permanently into the specific type they were formed. Each type has a different function. But a study ...

Neurons in biological systems rely on rhythmic burst firing for sensory encoding, pattern recognition, and network synchronization, functions that depend on oscillatory activity for signal ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells ...

Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries or diseases such as ALS. Converting one type of cell to another -- for example, a skin cell to a neuron -- can be done through a process ...

MANILA, Philippines — La Niña conditions are no longer observed or expected to develop in the Philippines and in the tropical Pacific until September this year. This information comes from the ...

"We wanted to find out how individual neurons in the primate brain extract information about the probability and magnitude of a reward based on visual cues and how they translate these attributes ...

Nina Dobrev flaunted her jaw-dropping figure as she hit the beach while taking a break from filming new Russell Crowe drama Bear Country in Australia on Sunday. The Vampire Diaries actress, 35 ...

A new study probing quantum phenomena in neurons as they transmit messages in the brain could provide fresh insight into how our brains function. Our brains process information via a vast network ...

Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a conversion method that is highly efficient and can produce more than 10 neurons from a single skin cell. If replicated in human cells ...
