Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Mirror neurons received significant media attention in the 2000s and were painted by some scientists as the key to many of our advanced social abilities. However, many of the more significant ...

In a recent PNAS study, Hollis Cline and Masaki Hiramoto of the Scripps Research Institute studied how the neurons of Xenopus frog tadpoles process moving images. Then, they used what they learned to ...

Here, we improve pre-existing neurocomputational models of semantics by incorporating spiking neurons and a rich connectivity structure between the model ‘areas’ to mimic important features of the ...

"Our nerve cells are facing a similar dilemma: They have to supply their synapses, i.e. their contact points with other neurons, but also organize their protein synthesis in such a way that they ...

We estimate that thousands (∼5 5) of Bitbow “colors” can be easily distinguished in a well-taken 16-bit image dataset. Densely packed neurons, such as the VNC serotonergic neurons are now readily ...

Its pathological hallmark is the abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) into insoluble fibrils and Lewy bodies, leading to the degeneration and death of dopaminergic neurons in the ...

However, neurons that express IL-1R1 are not thought to induce inflammation, suggesting that these cells may actually integrate immune signals into neural ones. It has yet to be revealed where or ...

Distinct hippocampal neurons influence food preferences and obesity risk by responding to specific nutrients and forming spatial memory of food cues. Study: Separate orexigenic hippocampal ...

Here we describe a new collection of over 800 split-GAL4 and split-LexA drivers that cover approximately 300 cell types, including sugar sensory neurons, putative nociceptive ascending neurons, ...
