The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of internal organs such as the heart and gut, serving as a connection ...

A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways, but ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...

The nervous system is primarily composed of neurons and glia, and the communication between them has profound roles in regulating the development and function of the brain. Neuron–glia signal ...

The telencephalon of the mammalian brain contains multiple regions and circuits that have adaptive and integrative roles in a variety of brain functions. GABAergic neurons in the telencephalon are ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...

Researchers at Niigata University's Brain Research Institute have uncovered a new function of amyloid precursor protein (APP) ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

Neurons tucked away in an ancient part of the brain control the ability to pay attention by suppressing distractions and ...
