Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Neural nets typically elaborate on three core components: a branching, highly parallel, feed-forward system of 1) neurons or nodes, plus 2) each node's connections and their weights. (More on weights ...

Cell adhesion molecule L1, a key member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Its functions extend from guiding neuronal ...

The Wistar Institute's Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular "bridge" ...

Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...

Human-accelerated regions (HARs) are sections of the human genome that have accumulated an unusually high level of mutations as humans split away from chimpanzees. Given their rapid evolution, some ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. Although previous ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Harvard affiliates developed a silicon chip that successfully mapped more than 70,000 synaptic connections from 2,000 rat neurons, advancing a new recording technology to complement existing neural ...

A research team led by Associate Professor Hiroto Sekiguchi and graduate student Gota Shinohara from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering at Toyohashi University of ...
