For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain—they talk to it. In a new ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers confirmed that parts of the neural network that inhibit movement in fruit flies plays a ...

Scientists have identified neurons that are active when mouse pups interact with their mothers, appearing to reduce their distress. The same neurons may also be involved in human mother-child bonding.

The data shows when the protein is removed from neurons or has its signaling activity blocked with drugs, axonal fibers grew more effectively.

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.
