Researchers have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can ...

Recent technological advances have opened new exciting possibilities for the development of smart prosthetics, such as artificial limbs, joints or organs that can replace injured, damaged or amputated ...

Pediatricians and parents — and, really, anyone who works with children — have long known that a child’s social needs evolve with age. Yale researchers have now discovered the neurological signaling ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

A research team from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has achieved a breakthrough in brain imaging by developing the world's first technology to ...

A psychedelic found in mushrooms is emerging as a potential treatment for alcohol use disorders. This possibility is due to a compound the body converts the psychedelic into called psilocin, but ...

With the Winter Olympics in full swing, coaches are closely scrutinizing their athletes, hoping that the carefully honed, intensive physical training programs they crafted for them will give them the ...

Carrying one or two copies of the APOE4 gene variant significantly increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's, and a new study reveals how APOE4 can change neuron activity – potentially many years ...

Researchers at Linköping University have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Researchers at Linköping ...
