Researchers have developed a new kind of artificial neuron—called infomorphic neurons—that can independently learn and ...

Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic functional units of the nervous system. Multiple interconnected neurons ... Cancers at any stage during development or adulthood can also develop within neural ...

They do so with nervous system tissue that imitates electrical wiring. The nervous system is comprised of two primary cell types: neurons and glial cells. These cells communicate with each other ...

after the nervous system is damaged, becomes overactive and causes communication problems—in this case, affecting sensory ...

Tissue healing requires intricate synchronization between different cell types, particularly those of the immune and nervous systems ... First, the team investigated how sensory neurons that detect ...

Scientists have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. A team of researchers discovered which chemicals influence the signals ...

There was, however, a tissue that seemed to belie cell ... which allowed identification of synapses between neurons 21. When the nervous system was also found to be made up of independent units ...

Following an injury, such as a traumatic crush injury, the peripheral nervous system is itself often ... in Schwann cells surrounding sensory neurons that transmit information on sensations ...

Neuroscience examines the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system ... Humans have an estimated hundred billion neurons, or brain cells, each with about a thousand connections ...
