Columbia scientists have identified specialized brainstem neurons that tell mice when to stop eating. These cells integrate ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 ... However, the AI still makes many errors in datasets ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made ...

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 ...

The ability to regulate one's own food intake is essential to the survival of both humans and other animals. This innate ability ensures that the body receives the nutrients it needs to perform daily ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

"Our study suggests that hippocampal persistent activity of the same cells supports both WM maintenance and LTM encoding, thereby revealing a common single-neuron component of these two memory ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

Specialised cell type Animal or plant cell ... protein filaments that can slide past each other to shorten the cell Neuron (nerve cell) Animal Transmits electrical impulses from one part of ...

A neuron-specific splice ... prominent accumulations of vesicles, the size of synaptic vesicles, were apparent in axons apposed to neuroligin-expressing cells, but not in axons contacting non ...
