The odor receptors in the nose are not distributed at random but organized in a precise spatial pattern, two new studies ...

Neuron networks in the brains hippocampus, the memory centre, are dense with connections that appear random, but as animals ...

A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across ...

We can get silicon to "think" but the neuron can't be beat for efficiency. So, researchers worked to imitate it.

Brain function has traditionally been interpreted within a neuron-centric framework; however, this view has shifted toward a model of neuron-glia ...

Increasing concerns have sparked off advanced, significant research being directed towards the diagnosis and treatment of developmental brain disorders like dyslexia, autism and microcephaly. Our ...

For the fruit fly, a sense of taste is critical to whether it thrives or dies. The little winged creature has taste organs in its mouthpiece as well as throughout its body, including its legs, abdomen ...

The structure, made of repeating rings of proteins, was previously known for helping neurons maintain their shape. The scientists said they now understand it plays a far more active role by deciding ...
