Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. 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 ...

New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely calibrated ultrasonic pulses. On the screen in front of us, calcium signals ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

A thin strip of flexible film, printed with layers of graphene and molybdenum disulfide ink, fired electrical spikes into a ...

Scientists have created artificial neurons that can communicate directly with real brain cells, opening the door to new medical devices and more efficient computing. In a new study from Northwestern ...

A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical functions that closely mirror those of biological ones. Building on ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain - they talk to it. In a new study, the Northwestern team developed flexible, low-cost devices that ...
