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 ...

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

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 ...

The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in ...

The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of internal organs such as the heart and gut, serving as a connection between the brain and the rest of the body. It is classified in two ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers identified two major intrinsic cardiac neuron populations in mice: Npy-positive neurons regulate parasympathetic ...

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

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