A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways, but ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

A new study has found that the heart has its own small nervous system capable of processing signals, controlling heart rate ...

Neurons are cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system. Motor neurons control muscle activity and ...

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 ...

The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in real time could reveal how the brain processes sensation and guides behavior ...

Every heartbeat is choreographed not just by the brain but also by a mysterious nervous system embedded in the heart itself.

For years, scientists have known that the heart has its own network of nerves, the intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS), ...
