Nov. 21 (UPI) --How neurons process information is dependent on their positioning within the cortex, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Queensland. Until now, neuroscientists ...

Investigators have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between 'test tube' data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study could help in the ...

Clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling “hotspots” that link electrical signals to gene expression, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The discovery may potentially lead ...

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Researchers have discovered that mysterious clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling 'hotspots' that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The ...

In their efforts to understand how the brain processes information, neuroscientists are trying to identify all of the different types of neurons in the brain and how they connect with one another.

Hyderabad have identified a mammalian protein, Cnpy1 (Canopy1), that is essential for the survival and function of ...

After many years of research, scientists have successfully demonstrated that they have a method of modifying neurons which would allow them to build artificial structures. The basis of the method ...

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 ...
