The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Biophysically detailed neuronal models provide a unique window into the workings of individual neurons. They enable researchers to manipulate neuronal properties systematically and reversibly, ...

Neurons talk to each other using chemical signals called neurotransmitters. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have drawn on structural biology expertise to determine structures of ...

For most people, major neurological pathways develop, connect up, and function, similarly. Between all of us, there is a consistency in neurological anatomy and physiology. From this, there result ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Quanterix. Learn more about tau biomarkers and clinical applications. Tau is a flexible protein that stabilizes the internal structure of neurons and supports ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key ...

Scientists introduce an open-source workflow that simplifies the creation, validation and generalization of detailed neuronal models. Using this solution, researchers could build cell models for a ...
