Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.

Midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons play an essential role in cognitive and motor behaviours and are linked to different brain disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their development, ...

Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the eyes see, not every neuron ends up answering the call to process properties of ...

In healthy rodent brains, newborn neurons are constantly generated in the stem cell niche, known as the subventricular zone (SVZ). These cells might help to repair a brain that has been damaged by ...

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 ...

The enteric submucosal plexus regulates essential digestive functions, yet its neuronal composition remains incompletely understood. We identified two putative secretomotor neuron classes and a ...

Researchers discover that Alzheimer's-linked APP protein protects neurons by clearing toxic leaked nuclear waste via ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have developed a "laser-powered artificial neuron," which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are now using the dystopian tech to power AI data centers. Australian biotech ...
