In experiments, their newly created model was able to directly communicate with a biological neuron in a remarkably lifelike, 'quiet' way. The 'cell'-to-cell flow of electrical information involves ...

How do embryos develop? Why does the cortex of the mammalian brain fold? How do we feel touch at our fingertips? These and ...

Figure 1. Diagram showing an electrically active cell in a neuronal culture and the process of recording its transmembrane potential for further analysis Neurons are cells that enable the brain to ...

It's bound to happen at a summer picnic, a peaceful walk in the woods or simply sitting in your backyard… a mosquito targets ...

A neuron made in the lab now works almost like one in the body. A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical ...

A study shows how newly created neurons depend on blood flow to travel to their final location in the adult brain, paving the way for future research on blood flow-dependent cell migration which may ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...
