Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved a significant breakthrough by employing scatterometry, a technique originally used to measure semiconductor microstructures, for the analysis of ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...

A new study reorganizes 8,000 fruit fly neurons into 200 modular ground plans using dual regulatory gene sets.

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 ...

An integrated spiking artificial neuron, with rich neuron functionality, single-transistor footprints, and low energy consumption for neuromorphic computing systems, can be created by stacking one ...

Researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Hyderabad have identified a mammalian protein, Cnpy1 (Canopy1), that is essential for the survival and function of vomeronasal sensory ...

New research discovers a lateral habenula cell group acting as a disappointment meter when reality misses expectations.
