Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought ...

Scientists have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. A team of researchers discovered which chemicals influence the signals ...

Scientists are working on a new level of technology that uses the neurons inside of the human brain, merging them with semiconductors (chips) to create something that's no longer constrained by ...

Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected, and their discovery ...

The results were published in PNAS. Both, human brain and modern artificial neural networks are extremely powerful. At the lowest level, the neurons work together as rather simple computing units.

the internal processes that make and remake the brain—the birth of new neurons and death of old ones, the creation and dissipation of neural connections, and more—persist across the lifespan.

New research by two Georgia State University professors published in The Journal of Neuroscience suggests that relieving psychological stress by targeting specific neurons in the brain can lower blood ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells ...

International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) researchers have developed a neuromorphic photonic semiconductor neuron ...

"The brain continuously receives and integrates sensory inputs, and neurons do not act in isolation—they are part of complex, recurrent networks. One particularly intriguing feature of these ...
