Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

DZNE researchers have uncovered a mechanism that determines why a neuron usually forms a single, long extension called an ...

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

Whether we hold a warm mug or step onto a cool floor, specialized nerve cells in the skin constantly report temperature to ...

A new study reveals that axon formation is driven by an internal molecular zipper protein complex called Arp2/3.

Summary: Researchers revealed that thermal perception is governed by a singular, dual-directional neural community. By deploying high-resolution, live-tissue imaging in awake models, the team ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...
