Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other cells (i.e., dendrites) is a long-standing objective of neuroscience ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas and their international colleagues have determined the molecular signature of human sleeping -­ or silent -­ nociceptors: sensory neurons that are ...

Axons are the brain’s information highways, transporting cellular cargo, chemical signals, and electrical impulses to other cells. These “roads” are typically depicted as smooth and cylindrical, with ...

Scientists identified the gene-expression profile of sleeping nociceptors, sensory neurons that drive spontaneous neuropathic ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...
