Before scientists can unlock the secrets of the human brain, they must fully understand neurons—the cells of our brain, spinal cord and overall nervous system. Thousands of detailed neuron ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed.

The central feature of the app is the 3D, rotatable model of a neuron. As the app user clicks on pins associated with different parts of the cell, information about that cellular feature is displayed.

Model produced with 3D printer In the current study, the researchers used human stem cells generated from skin and programmed to become motor neuron progenitors, a type of immature nerve cell that ...

Scientists grow functioning human neural networks in 3D from stem cells Neural models could improve understanding of neurodegenerative and other diseases, and facilitate discovery of treatments ...

Jan 30, 2025 3D-printed nanopillars promote neuron growth (Nanowerk News) Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible ...

To learn how the whole brain works, it doesn’t do to just record from one neuron—you want to know what every single neuron is doing every millisecond. Now scientists have invented a technique ...

A circuit’s memory The scientists, led by University of the Basque Country ’s Mikel Sanz, considered the dynamics of the potassium ion channel through a neuron cell. The variable concentration of ions ...
