Neurons in the brain communicate with each other through synapses—connection points that allow the passage of electrical and ...

A team at University of Massachusetts Amherst developed artificial neurons that fire in the same voltage range as living ...

Built from low-powered protein nanowires made by bacteria, these neurons could enable vastly more efficient, bio-inspired computers. Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed ...

What makes the human brain different from that of other primates has long been a question. A new study suggests that the ...

Researchers shot lasers into brain cells and triggered illusions on demand—a breakthrough that’s rewriting how we see the ...

The human brain does more than simply regulate synapses that exchange signals; individual neurons also process information ...

Scientists have developed a brain-inspired semiconductor that can adjust its responses based on experience, much like human neurons do through “intrinsic plasticity.” ...

Researchers uncovered a new subtype of hypothalamic neurons, called Crabp1 neurons, that serve as powerful regulators of energy expenditure.

Phe, which suppresses appetite by acting on brain neurons. This mechanism could inspire new weight-loss treatments. Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine, the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological ...

Scientists discover chronic stress disrupts brain sugar molecules, causing depression through mechanisms current ...

Researchers used lasers to record and stimulate the activity of neurons in mice to learn how the brain processes and interprets optical illusions.
