Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...

Existing three-dimensional (3D) neuronal culture technology has limitations in brain research due to the difficulty of precisely replicating the brain's complex multilayered structure and the lack of ...

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations.

In this study, the authors use microCT to image an intact hatchling octopus and segment major organ systems, including the vascular, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. The resulting dataset ...

In a recent Communications Chemistry article, researchers presented a novel approach to interfacing with neuronal structures using light-responsive azobenzene polymer thin films. Image Credit: ...

Precise intracellular transport is essential for neuronal function, yet the exact mechanism of selective cargo delivery by ...

Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, along with stroke, are among the top three neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by the malfunction and progressive degeneration of neurons, the nerve ...

There is new evidence that the cells responsible for communication in the brain may be structured differently in children with autism. Researchers discovered that in some areas of the brain neuron ...

The brain plays a big part in the aging process, and scientists think they’ve pinpointed the specific cells that control it. In a study of mice, researchers at the Allen Institute identified certain ...
