Because microbes are always adapting to changes, they could revolutionize how we think of computers—and how computers think.

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called ...

Experimental electron micrograph of purified synaptic vesicles (upper). Synaptic vesicles automatically identified in the image with a new computer program are highlighted with different colours and ...

How do brains turn environmental inputs into motor outputs? This question, known as the “black box” problem, has left ...

The human brain, a complex organ, consumes a significant amount of energy despite its small size. Neurons communicate rapidly, enabling quick reactions and efficient information processing. The brain ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Small cell lung cancer often metastasizes to the brain. A Stanford Medicine-led study shows the cancer cells form synapses with neurons, and signaling across these synapses encourages tumor growth.
