New research has settled the debate between ‘kiss-and-run’ and ‘full-collapse’ fusion to explain how neurons transmit signals across synapses. Scientists from the University of Science and Technology ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

A team of researchers shows how proteins called 'chaperones' are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When this neurotransmission breaks down, devastating diseases such ...

Brown researchers developed an “asynchronous wireless network” for microelectronic chips to transmit and receive data from biomedical devices using a system that mimics how neurons in the brain ...

When a person thinks, speaks, eats, walks, or just sits comfortably with all bodily systems functioning normally, the billions of cells that make up the brain and the rest of the nervous system are ...

SNr neurons in the midbrain send precise signals to control movement. Their activity determines which movements actions are initiated or inhibited. Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right ...

Flash and Freeze-fracture. (1) A flash of light stimulates neurons in a brain sample, which is followed by immediate freezing of the tissue. (2) The frozen brain tissue is broken/fractured and ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned AI scientist and consultant. In today’s column, I analyze the recently announced ...
