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

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

While the Milky Way has more stars than the brain has neurons, the manifold connections and interactions in the brain make it arguably more complex. Source: theartofsounds2001 | Pixabay The human ...

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

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 ...

UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one ...

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.

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