4 Action potentials Typically, neurons share information by producing electrical events called action potentials, also known as nerve impulses, which involve rapid changes in voltage across their ...

Researchers at FORTH have developed a new type of artificial neural network (ANN) that incorporates features of biological ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

Nerve cells take in information through the body ... Neurons receive signals in a short antennae-like part called the dendrite, and send signals to other neurons with a long cable-like part ...

Two research groups in Asia have identified an enzyme that governs whether a neural projection becomes an axon or a dendrite and several of its upstream ... were reported in the January 14 issue of ...

"This paper is mainly a basic science finding of a fundamental process of what nerve cells do ... synapses in remote dendrite branches to the nucleus in the neuron cell body.

A breakthrough study sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for learning and memory.

A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of ...
