The progression of Alzheimer's disease is poorly understood, but new research may have found how the plaques that cause it ...
The neurons in our brain that underlie thought connect to each other using tiny branch-like structures on their surfaces known as dendritic spines. Now scientists at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute and ...
Scientists reveal mechanical forces move across neuron membranes differently based on obstacle patterns. This explains how ...
New study combines a novel approach using patterned optogenetics with electrophysiology, circuit mapping, and computational ...
Some people with psychiatric conditions, including addiction and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, struggle to ...
Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...
Researchers found that neurons can use fat, not just sugar, to power the brain. When a protein called DDHD2 fails, this ...
