The activity of neurons in the mammalian brain is known to contribute to the development of the brain at the early stages of development. While past neuroscientific studies have gathered evidence ...

Neuroscientists have long believed that hunger increases activity in agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons to regulate feeding-related behaviors and metabolism, but a new study shows that the story is ...

The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, ...

Neurons exposed to chronic iron overload do not simply die on contact. Instead, they enter a weakened, primed state that ...

Scientists have discovered a tiny group of neurons in an ancient brain region that acts like a built-in focus filter, helping ...

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

Researchers have developed a system that connects two neurons by using light-emitting enzymes and light-sensitive ion channels. Our brains are made of billions of neurons, which are connected forming ...

Vocal production is a complex behavior across the animal kingdom that relies on coordinated motor and auditory networks. However, the contribution of sensory areas in vocal control remains poorly ...

Language-Specific Hardware: At the single-neuron level inside the hippocampus, individual cells are largely language-specific ...

Researchers stimulated human neurons and tracked gene activity. Activation exposed hidden variants and epigenetic changes ...

Scientists just taught hundreds of thousands of neurons in a dish to play Pong. Using a series of strategically timed and placed electrical zaps, the neurons not only learned the game in a virtual ...

Our brains are made of billions of neurons, which are connected forming complex networks. They communicate between themselves by sending electrical signals, known as action potentials, and chemical ...
