A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

A new study suggests that how neurons process energy may determine whether they resist damage or begin to break down.

Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...

Dennis Mathew is an associate professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno, and studies insect olfaction at the cellular and molecular levels. He is also a co-director of ...

A new study maps out a detailed atlas of all the cells involved in regenerating the zebrafish spinal cord. In an unexpected finding, the researchers showed that survival and adaptability of the ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain’s neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...
