A new study proves individual human cortical neurons have the computational complexity of an entire deep artificial neural ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

Summary: Researchers compiled emerging evidence to prove that astrocytes, traditionally dismissed as passive, structural ...

Autophagy is the process by which cells remove damaged proteins, recycle worn-out organelles (e.g., mitochondria), clear ...

The brain contains many cell types, from the prominent neurons to the lesser-known microglia. The latter are integral to the brain's immune system and play a crucial role as the brain's cleanup crew.

While early in life, the accumulation of iron appears to have little effect on neuron function, later in life, it can ...

Neurons carry vital signals all over our body, and the nervous system controls many crucial functions, from breathing to digestion to movement. It’s long been thought that neurons were mostly powered ...

A team led by Jason Shepherd at the University of Utah has identified the protein responsible for loading toxic tau into tiny ...

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...

Tole combines ultrasound and AI to improve motor neuron disease diagnosis, reducing reliance on invasive procedures.
