Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the ...

The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Researchers at FORTH have developed a new type of artificial neural network (ANN) that incorporates features of biological ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

Nerve cells take in information through the body’s senses: touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound. The brain interprets these ... antennae-like part called the dendrite, and send signals to ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

The research, published Jan. 28 in Science Immunology, shows that these specialized Tregs not only control access to the inner regions of the brain but also ensure the proper renewal of nerve cells in ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial pathway that links brain cell activity to the activation of genes responsible for ...

Professor Mudher is using clever genetic manipulation in fruit flies to turn genes on and off in their nerve cells. This will reveal the genes responsible for helping tau (one of the proteins that ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...
