Note: The video above shows a three-dimensional rotating view of three different cell types in the retina. The Campana cell (center) is shown flanked by two other cell classes that it is similar to, a ...

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

The gut-brain connection is a complicated two-way signaling cascade that is responsible for keeping the digestive system working properly and can cause problems when it breaks down. In a study in mice ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...
