Existing three-dimensional (3D) neuronal culture technology has limitations in brain research due to the difficulty of ...

Can one truly understand what “flower” means without smelling a rose, touching a daisy or walking through a field of ...

New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the cerbrum contains less than 20 percent of the neurons in our brain. Eighty ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

Motor neurons are cells in your brain and spinal cord that help you walk, talk, and eat. Learn how damage to these cells could affect your movement and what your doctor can do to treat it.

Children with severe SMA have substantial loss of motor and sensory neurons in the thoracic region of the spinal cord, a study showed.

In children with autism, neurons were found to be differently dense in some areas of the brain, compared to those without autism.

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of ...

Their findings, published in Neuron, hint at the existence of neurons that typically remain silent during sensory processing and yet can be recruited to enhance perception in mice.

Sensory neurons help animals make sense of the world, and these small marine invertebrates can do a lot with only a few neurons.

In the case of motor neurons and a muscle, the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine tells the muscle to contract. Bothe found that the electric current needed to reach the voltage threshold ...
