Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal processing speed of 10 ...

Using microelectrodes, scientists could show that cells in the retina play different roles. The produce different signals, which is important for the processing of visual information. These ...

Optogenetics has long been a powerful experimental tool, but a growing body of research suggests it may now be approaching a ...

Scientists disclose how mitochondria control tissue rejuvenation and synaptic plasticity in the adult mouse brain. Nerve cells (neurons) are amongst the most complex cell types in our body. They ...

Researchers at the University of Leipzig Medical Center report that Schwann cells receive crucial support with nerve repair from the fat tissue that surrounds nerves in the body. Using genetically ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

In endurance athletes, some brain power may come from an unexpected source. Marathon runners appear to rely on myelin, the fatty tissue bundled around nerve fibers, for energy during a race, ...
