Three studies of the brain regions responsible for processing sensory information show that their neurons are and communicate ...

Recent research suggests that one key player in reducing the risk and progression of Alzheimer’s could be aerobic exercise.

Supplementary Movie 1. 3D view of the S2p neuron (AP049) shown in Figure 3. Supplementary Movie 2. 3D view of the M1p neuron (TY308) shown in Figure 5. Supplementary Data File 1. An excel file with ...

As an action potential propagates to the terminal of a presynaptic neuron, vesicles storing the neurotransmitter fuse with the cell membrane and release the neurotransmitter into the synapse. Once the ...

The study, published in the scientific journal Neuron, could help scientists understand the neurological basis for overcoming conditions like drug or sexual addiction. Why do emotional events ...

This work presents potentially important findings suggesting that a combination of transcranial stimulation approaches applied for a short period could improve memory performance after administration.

The basic operating principle of the Hopfield–Brody model can be illustrated in a simple two-neuron circuit (Fig. 1). In this example, one neuron (blue) receives constant input current that ...

Anatomy is the field of biology that studies the structure of living things. Anatomy focuses on the composition, structure and location of the parts of organisms tissues, organs and systems ...

Studies on humans have generally been less definitive than those done on animals because it is substantially more difficult to record the activity of a single neuron in human brains. However ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

Pain is an example of an important sensory neuron. When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical ...
