When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI ...

Golgi and Cajal's rivalry reshaped biology, leading to the birth of modern neuroscience with lasting impacts on global health ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, ...

A team at University of Massachusetts Amherst developed artificial neurons that fire in the same voltage range as living ...

At least one-fifth of all people on the planet are carrying a gene variant that predisposes them to Alzheimer's. Known as ...

Since Madeline Lancaster first created brain organoids back in 2013, they have become widely used for brain research around the world. But what exactly are they? Are they effectively miniature brains ...

The effects of insufficient water are felt by every cell in the body, but it’s the brain that manifests our experience of ...

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 ...

Drawing correlations between sport and neurological conditions was once considered controversial, but multiple studies have ...

Stress has always been an ugly word, and for good reason. In addition to causing people headaches and sleeplessness, ongoing ...

The team’s advance changes this. “Ours register only 0.1 volts, which about the same as the neurons in our bodies,” says Yao. With this low-voltage design, the artificial neurons could integrate not ...
