Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal ...

(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 ...

Chinese scientists succeed in multiplying millions of NK cells against cancer from a single donor, for more accessible therapies.

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them—signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces—in a process known as endocytosis that is essential ...

Building endurance isn't just about muscles, it's about the brain. A newly discovered neural circuit in the hypothalamus rewires itself after exercise to boost heart and muscle strength.

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Ten years ago, three research teams published a breakthrough — the first description of the molecular mechanism for transduction in fingertip sensory Merkel cells that can transduce gentle touch, a ...

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

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Billions of nerve cells send signals coursing through our bodies, serving as conduits through which the brain performs its ...

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 ...
