A tiny circuit, printed from ink made of atom-thin crystals, just fired electrical pulses that a living brain cell recognized and responded to. Researchers at Northwestern University say it is the ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

Insights from advanced imaging technology show how neurons communicate at the atomic level for the first time. For the first time, scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) used advanced ...

Ben-Gurion University scientists found the protective layer halves the metabolic costs of cellular communication without altering signal transmission.

Scientists at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have discovered how an experimental therapy can ...

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and affects millions of people around the world. It slowly damages ...

Scientists at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have discovered how an experimental therapy can help brain cells overcome the effects of a disease-causing genetic deletion.

Why can zebrafish regenerate damaged gut nerves while humans largely cannot? Michigan State University researchers have developed a new research tool that allows them to remove gut neurons in ...
