Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved a significant breakthrough by employing scatterometry, a technique ...

Super-resolution microscopes have revealed a whole new type of connection between neurons in mouse and human brains.

Scientists at Linköping University have created a highly compact artificial neuron from conductive plastics that replicates ...

Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

Children with autism have different brains than children without autism, down to the structure and density of their neurons, according to a study by the University of Rochester Medical Center, New ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

A collaborative French-Swiss study reveals a previously unknown role for astrocytes in the brain's information processing. Published in the journal Cell, the research shows that these glial cells are ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy ...
