USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

This study shows that excitatory cholecystokinin (CCK)-expressing neurons in hippocampal area CA3 influence hippocampal-dependent memory using multiple methods to manipulate excitatory CCK-expressing ...

Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and School of Advanced Computing have developed artificial neurons that replicate the complex electrochemical behavior of biological brain cells.

Researchers from the University of Tokyo and Juntendo University have identified a previously unknown structural domain in ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

How do embryos develop? Why does the cortex of the mammalian brain fold? How do we feel touch at our fingertips? These and ...

A groundbreaking study reveals how neurons sense and transmit mechanical forces across their membranes—a key to understanding touch, movement, and development.

In a groundbreaking study [1] published in Science, researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and collaborators unveiled the first high-resolution atlas of how enteric neurons adapt to ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a vast network of nerves built into the walls of the intestine. While it is well known ...
