Nov. 21 (UPI) --How neurons process information is dependent on their positioning within the cortex, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Queensland. Until now, neuroscientists ...

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 ...

Investigators have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between 'test tube' data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study could help in the ...

Researchers have discovered that mysterious clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling 'hotspots' that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The ...

The cerebellum, a major part of the hindbrain in all vertebrates, is important for motor coordination, language acquisition, and regulating social and emotional behaviors. A study led by Dr. Roy ...

After many years of research, scientists have successfully demonstrated that they have a method of modifying neurons which would allow them to build artificial structures. The basis of the method ...

The human brain is anything but static, shifting neural activity depending on time of day. In A Nutshell Scientists mapped active neurons in mouse brains at four different times of day and found the ...

The glial cells of the nervous system have been eclipsed in importance by neurons for decades. But glia are turning out to be central to many neurological functions, including pain perception. The ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...
